All (or most) CVS operations are recursive by default. diff -u
gives a unified diff, which is the preferred diff type for the
GIMP in general, being quite readable. So
cvs diff -u help > help.patch
should do the trick.
To have this option on all the time, add the line "diff -u" to
the file ~/.cvsrc (create the file if there isn't already one).
You should probably consider adding the lines "update -dP" and
"cvs -z3 -e/usr/bin/emacs" too.
That's the only one of your questions I have an answer for,
though :)
Cheers,
Dave.
