To get the difference between two tagged "snapshots"
you may use the following command within a module:

cvs rdiff -s -r rel-1-0 -r rel-1-1 . 2> nul

where the "rel-1-0" and "rel-1-1" are tag names.
If you need the changes from tag "rel-1-0" till now,
omit second -r switch

cvs rdiff -s -r rel-1-0 . 2> nul
