   I'm considering starting to use CVS (ie. to pickup EGCS), but I have the
   feeling that someone mentioned problems when using CVS with patch 2.5.

   Does anyone know if patch 2.5 is ok or not?
   (It is noticeably that 2.5 has different default operation to 2.1, but it
   handles empty files etc better).

New versions of CVS--post 1.9.10--do not require an external patch
program at all.
