Would this work? This question is not directly related to mediawiki, hope it's not against conventions.
Making a CVS repository for this one merge is probably overkill.
You could just use the standard Unix diff and patch tools:
tar zxvf mediawiki-1.3.9.tar.gz tar zxvf mediawiki-1.3.10.tar.gz diff -ur mediawiki-1.3.9 mediawiki-1.3.10 > mediawiki-1.3.10.patch cd /to/my/directory/wiki patch -p1 < /to/my/other/stuff/mediawiki-1.3.10.patch # now clean up any rejects
There's probably some magic CVS command you could run to make the patch from REL1_3_9 to REL1_3_10 direct from the Sourceforge anonymous CVS server, but I don't know offhand how to do it. :)
(Of course if your source is a checkout from our server in REL1_3 branch, you'd just do 'cvs up' and the magic would all happen there.)
