I have found the need to produce patches from CVS and wrap them up in a tar or zip file. There is no easy way to do this. I want to be able to pick all files between certain tags or from a particular date, for example. CvsTagDiff goes partway there but just produces a list of candidate files. My task 'CvsExportDiff' fills the gap. It internally calls CvsTagDiff and then invokes 'cvs export' to extract candidate files of a particular revision; it then provides the files in a directory for later tar'ing, etc. I am contributing the source code and documentation. I hope others will find this useful.
