Ah, but I believe that's because `cvs diff' has long been broken.

Try this, for an example:

	cvs co foo
	cd foo
	cvs diff -rRELENG_2_1_0 -rHEAD

You'll see nothing.  According to the man page, you're *supposed* to
be able to generate diffs against arbitrary tags, but it's certainly
never worked that way for me.
