With the prefix T you can get what you want: T =
As for why, it's mostly historical (that's how it was originally in PCL-CVS
when I took over maintenance and it may have been originally due to
limitations of early CVS). I actually like it because I often select
files to commit and then do diff one file at a time (either to fill the
ChangeLog or to decide whether to add the file to set of selected files for
commit).
