Ah yes, that can be a pain with anoncvs. Unfortunately I've never found a 
better way than generating the patch for the files that changed and then 
for every new file/directory manually do:

diff -urN /dev/null FILENAME >> patch

at the same level as the patch.

Yes, being fully open source can be a great help to those who would 
otherwise do a home-grown system. Hopefully this will help spread the
