NAME

       cvsmgdiff - uses mgdiff to display differences between any two cvs revisions.

SYNOPSIS

       cvsmgdiff [-v⎪-h⎪-g gui⎪-r rev1 [-r rev2]] file ...

DESCRIPTION

       This manual page documents briefly  the cvsmgdiff program.  This manual page was written for the Debian
       GNU/Linux distribution (but may be used by others), because the  original program does not have a manual
       page.

       This script lets you recursively diff the CVS directories you have checked out.  To use, just pass in an
       optional revision levels and an optional file directory name.  This script then will show you the
       differences you're interested in.

OPTIONS

       -v  Print version information successfully

       -h  Print help information

       -g gui
           Use the program gui as the user interface (default: /usr/bin/mgdiff)

       -r revision
           Specify the CVS revision to view.  If just one -r option is given, view differences between that
           revision and the current file in the CVS working directory.  If two -r options are given, compare
           those two revisions with each other.
