Well, in fact 'cvs diff' perform a diff between locally (possibly
modified) file and the version that was checkout-ed (or last updated).
So if modification were done on the repository but you didn't update,
then 'cvs diff' will not show those modifications. I'm always bitten by
this behaviour, so now I do 'cvs diff -r HEAD' in order to have a saner
behaviour :)

Just my two cents,
