That's probably because "cvs diff" and what I think is "patch" as
specified by POSIX don't work together well - as I remember reading,
POSIX mandates that one of the places where "cvs diff" *doesn't* put a
pathname into the output is the place that should specify the file to be
patched.

Gilbert wrote a Python script, which is in "tools/cvsdiff-fix.py", which
can read "cvs diff" output and turn it into something that can be fed to
"patch".
