Hi Matti,
You not quite exploiting the full power of cvs....
Here is what you should do...
cvs update (Do this in you abi direcotry that whole of the abi tree
will be ipdated).
{edit file(s) to make your super-duper changes.}
cvs update (This will merge any changes that have been made between
when you first checked out the code and now. If CVS is not
100% certain that is can merge the code, it will mark the
sections of the code it wasn't sure about for you to hand
merge.)
cvs diff -u > all_myfiles.diff
That's it :-)
However if you want to add more files to the tree that is more work.
Cheers
Martin
