Hi,

I somehow don't understand the procedure in how to check the DIFFerence
between my local cvs-directory and that the development version.

I have downloaded the cvs-version with "cvs -z3 -d
:pserver:cvs@cvs.icdevgroup.org:/var/cvs checkout -P interchange" and
installed successfully the dev-version of IC.

Now, how do I check the difference between my interchange cvs-directory and
the version that is at icdevgroup.org? Running "cvs  diff -u" as described
on the download page, I just get this:

cvs server: Diffing .
Index: MANIFEST

etc.
etc.

I know that running "cvs update -dP" updates my local cvs-files, but that
does not show me the code that has been changed. I would be happy if someone
could give me a clue what I'm doing wrong.


Regards,

Rene
