I found out that if I made a patch against a certain version of CVS
and than have to update it to the current CVS it is easier to restore
the old cvs version (cvs up -D), apply the patch and update the cvs
(cvs up -A) than to apply the patch to the cvs and go over the .rej
files. The first has the advantage that you have all the data in one
file and you get compile errors for the rejections.
