[mythtv] creating a patch

[Chris Pinkham]

I know Robert already replied to this, but just wanted to give a little
more information.

If you create a file called .cvsrc in your home directory, with the
following few lines then it makes life much easier.

cvs -z 3
update -Pd
diff -u

With a .cvsrc containing those lines, cvs will use the above options
automatically without you having to specify them on the command line.

So when I do a cvs update, I just type "cvs update" and it automatically
uses compression.  When I want to create a diff file, I just say "cvs diff"
and it generates the desired proper diff format.   The "-z 3" is also
used any time it's applicable so I save Isaac's bandwith. :)
