I usually use (in a stable cvs tree)

cvs diff -u -b -r HEAD file

and then if all is well

cvs diff -u -b -r HEAD file | patch 

You may find that the diff has other stuff you don't want included.
Then you can find out the latest two  versions with cvs log, and do

cvs diff -u -b -r <next to last (HEAD) version> -r <current (HEAD)
version>

and pipe into patch if that is clean enough.  Could be an easier way
-- I'm certainly no guru.

Take care,
