Hi,

We want to do a cvs diff on a folder and know exactly which 
files matched the repository and which files didn't.  
When we do the diff, we only get information about which files 
_didn't_ match.  This creates a problem for us because if all 
the files did match, the Python script that called cvs doesn't 
know whether all the files matched, the program didn't run at all,
an error occurred accessing the server, etc.  The documentation 
says that the switches "-s" (or "--report-identical-files") should 
show which files matched the repository, but these switches don't 
seem to work for us. Should they?

We are running: 
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.2 (client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.0.5 (client/server)

Thanks,
