Hi David, I don't think that's the reason.

Looks like however set up the repository imported most files with CRLF
line endings.

Hi deego, pgas, do you agree that http-emacs CVS repository should not
contains sources with CRLF line endings?

I'd suggest finxing the ,v files in the repository directly.

Oh, yes, diff cares about every byte and it better!

My XEmacs can also handle UNIX (LF), DOS (CRLF), and MAC (CR) line
endings, but I don't think multi-platform source repositories should
use CRLF line endings.

David, how do you create your patches?

What switches to
cvs diff
are you using when you generate your patches?

Try
cvs diff file-name
on any file with a small local change.

Does that work as expected for you?

Please advise,

Adrian
