CVS Diff Problem |

Hi i'm having a problem with CVS that I think should be pretty
straightforward. I have a local copy of a file, say file.c version
1.1.1.1. Someone else also has a copy somewhere else, makes a change
and commits it as 1.2. Now when I go back to my local copy and do a
cvs diff, it shows nothing. When I do a cvs status, it says "Needs
Patch". Am I understanding the function of cvs diff incorrectly? Here
is a simple test:
file: test.c
//this is a test
cvs import -m "Test" test vendor start
cvs checkout test
cvs checkout -d test2 test
cd test
change test.c to say
//test.c has been modified
cvs commit -m "" test.c
cd ../test2
cvs diff
this produces no output.
I've tried this on cvs versions 1.11.6, and 1.12.9. Both produce the
same result.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Prashant
