ortsac has asked for the wisdom of the Perl Monks concerning the following question:

Hi, I am trying to find a way to perform a cvsdiff on two different releases. Each release exists in its own directory. cvsdiff only works for two files. At the end, I would like to see 3 things: Lines Changed. Lines Added Lines Deleted Has anyone had any experience with this? I guess I could write a recursive script but I am trying to find out if someone has already done that before. thanks, oh wise ones.

    Did it occur to you to check the cvs documentation?

    diff options
    ------------
    
       These standard options are supported by `diff'
    ...snip...
    
    `-R'
         Examine directories recursively.  This option is on by default.
