How do you get a diff between specific versions? This is the one feature I'm missing most. One important thing to note about the CVS features in Emacs is that if it ever tells you that conflicts have been detected and asks whether you want to correct them, better answer no. Else you end up in a weird Ediff mode with three windows and an extra frame, and no clue of how to proceed. :-) -- Ole Laursen http://www.cs.auc.dk/~olau/
