I also do 1 before a "commit", but I use Visual Slickedit for Linux
instead of CVS (no association with the company of course, I'm
just a *very* satisfied customer).  It's not free but the multi-
file diff capabilities for my money are second to none, including
emacs and tkdiff which I use all the time.  It's also amazing if you
need to merge changes- very powerful.  The downside, is it will
set you back a dollar (or euro) or two.
