I spotted more places where -L option is passed to diff. Attached patch covers them all and it passed all tests for me. (file #44075)
Currently CVS uses GNU diff's -L option. That option has been undocumented since diffutils 2.8 (released in March 2002) and the option is intended to be replaced sometime soon with a different meaning. Can you please fix CVS so that it uses "diff --label" instead of "diff -L"? That will make CVS immune to this planned change. Thanks. A proposed (but untested) patch is attached.
