I think "cvs diff foo.c" without any switches gives you the diff between
your local copy of foo.c and the last version of foo.c *that you checked
out* --- ie, it shows you the uncommitted editing that you've done.
If you hadn't done "cvs update" since rev 1.61 then this would explain
the behavior you saw.
