[techtalk] making a patch from a cvs repository

[Anmol Khirbat]

Hi

I imported some source code into a cvs repository, did lots of changes and
made a Larry Wall patch. The problem is that I cannot apply the patch to a
copy of the original source cleanly. 

When I run patch, I get loads of Hunk FAILEDs and a bunch of .rej files. I
went through all the reject files and all of them nearly identical. Here's
one of the rej files with some lines removed.

Looks like something to do with the $Id$ keyword expansion. Did I goof up
when I imported the source in the first place? Whats the right way of
doing things? How can I produce a patch that applies cleanly to a copy of
the original source? 

TIA 

bye :)
