+Alternately, you can also add files to your patch by using the "cvsdo" program on *nix or [http://viper.haque.net/~timeless/redbean/cvsdo.pl cvsdo.pl] on Windows. Before you do the "cvs diff" in step 2 above, do:
+   cvsdo add ''new-file-name''
-The process of creating patches on a windows OS is slightly different. When adding a new file to a patch you will need to add entry for each new file to the appropriate CVS/entries file.
+(Except on Windows, that would be "cvsdo.pl" or "perl.exe cvsdo.pl" instead of just "cvsdo".)
-. Change to your Bugzilla directory:
-  cd C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\bugzilla
-. Make the patch by doing:
-  cvs diff -Nup > patch.diff
-At the top of the patch.diff file you will see references to unknown/new files:
-  ? images/newimage.gif
-. Add new files to the patch by adding an entry to the top of the appropriate CVS/entries file for each file you are adding:
-   /new-file-name/0///

-. Make the patch by doing:
-  cvs diff -Nu > patch.diff
-You now have a file called patch.diff! It includes all your changes and additions.
