Description cjb 2002-11-18 22:10:16 UTC
Version:           2.0 (using KDE 3.0.9)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2 20020903 (Red Hat Linux 8.0 3.2-7)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.18-17.8.0

i highlight the project's root dir, then click on file->status, it tells me that funcs.cpp "Needs Update", i right click on funcs.cpp and select "difference to repository..." and the dialog box comes up reporting zero differences.  i'm using ssh (protocal 2, using rsh_id and authorized_keys) to login to my remote repository.

this doesn't seem to happen when i use the :pserver: method from a trusted IP on the LAN that the remote repository is on.

thanks,
christopher

Hi!

Do you have special diff options in your configuration, i.e. ignore differences 
in blank lines?

no special diff options.  i'm using an external program (kompare) now and it 
works fine with that.  dunno why it doesn't work with the internal graphical 
diff....=/

This is the default cvs behaviour. The action "difference to repository..." is the 
equivalent to calling "cvs diff <filename>" on the command line and cvs diff 
doesn't show any differences either.  
 
WORKAROUND: 
-------------- 
 
Use "Browse Log..." instead and select the last two versions. Then press the "Diff" 
Button. 
 
*Note* This won't include your local changes!

Hi Christopher, 
 
in CVS HEAD I 
 
- Added possibility to diff a selected file against the 
  newest version in the repository (cvs diff -r HEAD). 
- Now External and internal diff show the same differences.
