> Not so much a bug as a "gotcha"/enhancement request.
>
> In RCS, diff works by comparing your working copy against the latest version
> available in the repository; cvs diffs against the repository version from
> which your working copy was derived, *even if a later version exists in the
> repository*. Moreover, cvs diff doesn't even warn the diff'er that a later
> version exists.
>
> Can diff be modified:
> 1) to allow an "rcs-like" diff option (I can see the benefits of having both
> styles available) and
> 2) to warn if a later version exists in the repository?
