making a patch from a cvs repository

[Raju Mathur <raju@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Anmol,

Ignore the errors, since they're just telling you that the CVS Id
lines are different (which they're bound to be).  Alternatively, check
out the files from CVS without keyword expansion (cvs checkout -kk
AFAIR) before you diff them.

Regards,
