Hi,

this is probably not CVSNT -specific, but anyone know if this is supposed to
work? I get the following error, when trying to do a diff with a given date,
when working on a branch:

$ cvs diff -D "yesterday" foo.c
cvs server: foo.c is a new entry, no comparison available

I'm using CVSNT 1.11.1.3, with command line client. Here is more info about
the file I was trying to diff:

$ cvs log foo.c
RCS file: d:/repository/project/Attic/foo.c,v
Working file: foo.c
head: 1.1
branch:
locks: strict
access list:
symbolic names:
        SOME-TAG-NAME-DEVE: 1.1.2.1.0.2

        SOME-TAG-NAME-DEVD-2: 1.1.2.1
