Peter Wemm ac4bd338c8 Import CVS-1.6.3-951211.. Basically, this is the cvs-1.6.2 release
plus a couple of minor changes..

Some highlights of the new stuff that was not in the old version:
 - remote access support.. full checkout/commit/log/etc..
 - much improved dead file support..
 - speed improvements
 - better $CVSROOT handling
 - $Name$ support
 - support for a "cvsadmin" group to cut down rampant use of "cvs admin -o"
 - safer setuid/setgid support
 - many bugs fixed.. :-)
 - probably some new ones.. :-(
 - more that I cannot remember offhand..

directory
.SH SYNOPSIS
.B cvscheck
.SH DESCRIPTION
This command is a housekeeping aid. It should be run in a working
directory that has been checked out using CVS. It identifies files
that have been added, changed, or removed in the working directory, but
not CVS
.BR commit ted.
It also determines whether the files have been CVS
.BR add ed
or CVS
.BR remove d.
For directories, this command determines only whether they have been
.BR add ed.
It operates in the current directory only.
.LP
This command provides information that is available using CVS
.B status
and CVS
.BR diff .
The advantage of
.B cvscheck
is that its output is very concise. It saves you the strain (and
potential error) of interpreting the output of CVS
.B status
and
.BR diff .
.LP
See
.BR cvs (local)
or
.BR cvshelp (local)
for instructions on how to add or remove a file or directory in a
CVS-controlled package.
.SH DIAGNOSTICS
The exit status is 0 if no files have been added, changed, or removed
from the current directory. Otherwise, the command returns a count of
the adds, changes, and deletes.
