How is that different than just doing a "cvs diff" command on them?

That part sounds okay, except I wouldn't want to trust that on my
config files...  For the rest it sounds good.

Why not just do a CVS diff and save the results?  I can't see where a
cvs diff would be much more overhead than a cvs co or cvs update...  And
it would save local disk space.
