I'd love to see the this feature in WinCvs and will try to 
implement it. This is how it's supposed to work:

- Launch a "cvs diff --brief [-rxxx [-ryyy]]" command as appropriate, 
to let the server find out which files have changed
- Parse the output (read lines beginning with "Index:", a simple 
getline parser will be fine here)
- Treat the changed files as if they (and not the directory) were 
selected in the file view
- Diff 'em one by one

This should be easy to achieve with code that's already been written 
and tested: "graph view" uses a similar approach.

Does anyone have suggestions, comments, ideas?


Regards, Kirill
