my CVS help says option -R  is for recursive diffing. There´s also a
comment "consult the documentation for your diff program for
rcsdiff-options. The most popular is -c for context diffs but there are
many more". I´ve however already seen cvs servers not support the -u
switch, so you might ave to try around a bit.
