✏ EDIT: fixcvsdiff

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# Fixes cvs diffs so that the Index: and "---" and "+++" are in sync,
# including diffs containing added or removed files, so that they patch
# correctly with patch(1).
#
# usage: fixcvsdiff [-p] [-b] [files to fix]
#
# -p prints the cvs commands that will be needed when applying
# the patch.
#
# -b keeps a .bak backup file
