Actually, this appear to work exactly opposite of what you claim:

$ cvs diff -pub res.rc
[...]
-CAPTION "Create Icons"
+CAPTION "Cygwin Setup"
[...]

$ cvs diff -pub -r HEAD res.rc
[...]
-CAPTION "Cygwin Setup - Create Icons"
+CAPTION "Cygwin Setup"
[...]


"-r HEAD" diffs against HEAD, right?  Isn't that exactly what we want?
