 The aim is to bring your localisation up-to-date with the en-US version. There are various methods to do this. It is easiest if you have local parallel versions of your ab-CD locale and the en-US files.
-#  cvs diff the en-US files
+# <s>cvs diff the en-US files</s> bother, this doesn't work.
-# cvs update your local en-US files (this ensures the next cycle of this process starts where this one left off)
+# cvs update your local en-US files, noting which files have changed (P or U in the output from cvs update)
-# use the diff file as a basis to alter your ab-CD files
+# either:
+## compare the changed files with your ab-CD files
+## use cvs diff -D date1 -D date2 <files> to get a diff of changes
+# change your ab-CD files
 # run compare-locales.pl to ensure you haven't missed any build-breaking changes
 # commit your ab-CD changes
