Hello,

   I'm sorry about the newbie question, but I don't have
any experience with using CVS and creating patches.
   What I want to do is download the latest XFS for 2.4
from CVS. I managed to do that just fine, resulting in
a massive directory called linux-2.4-xfs. If I want to
create a patch file from this directory versus, say,
linux-2.4.17, what diff options do I use? (I experimented
with some, searched on google fairly quickly, and
punted to this mailing-list when I didn't have any luck).
   After I get the patch I know what to do (some friends
with even less experience than me want the latest
patch from the CVS and sort of appointed me to do it :).

TIA,

Jeff
