[Savannah-help-public] [sr #104562] CVS Commit Diff Emails should be Generated with -N Option

[Derek Robert Price]

Follow-up Comment #1, sr #104562 (project administration):

The best way to fix this would be unify with the version of commit_prep.pl
from CVS
(http://savannah.nongnu.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/cvs/ccvs/contrib/commit_prep.pl).
It has many bug fixes and enhancements over the version Savannah is currently
using, including this fix (note that several changes are hidden behind the
file renames since this script was maintained for some time as commit_prep.in
in the CVS repository).

The easiest way to fix this, if you are not ready to try and unify, would be
to pass in %{sVv} instead of %s from CVSROOT/commitinfo and parse the "old"
and "new" version numbers which would then be passed in from each file. 
Then, when "old" is "NONE", then diff -N against the "0" revision (this works
for added and removed files).
