You have to modify some files into CVS directories... You can search
"cvs diff new files" or something like that in google, I see a perl
script named "cvsdo" to do that automatically for Mozilla sources. I
don't know if it really works and I don't want to modify those files.

But since you know what files are modified, you can copy them in a
directory of a fresh tracker cvs and do a diff with another fresh
tracker cvs...   :-/
