You want: cvs diff -uw
(the -q is just a quite flag, so it's optional)
It easiest to just put
diff -uw
in ~/.cvsrc, and then "cvs diff > mypatch" should be all you need to do.
While you are at it, I'd recommend adding:
cvs -z 3
update -Pd
The -Pd to update adds new/removes old directories automatically, and the
-z 3 enables automatic compression of the network transfers.
