Thanks for trying but that didn't help. Even if the file is not new I 
still can't get diff to when I try to diff a branch to HEAD, but I can 
diff HEAD to a branch.

== When in HEAD, diff works ==

$ cvs diff -r TEST .test3
Index: .test3
===================================================================
RCS file: /repos/MRW/foundation/.test3,v
retrieving revision 1.1.2.1
retrieving revision 1.2
diff -r1.1.2.1 -r1.2
1c1
< A file in the TEST branch but not in HEAD

> A file in HEAD and on the TEST branch

== When on TEST branch, diff does not works ==

$ cvs diff -r HEAD .test3
$

Thanks,
