[U-Boot-Users] How to do patch against on-line repository

Hi,
I am in the process preparing a patch for our new board.I have successfully logged on and performed a checkout of the head into directory u-boot. I now want to copy my changes to this directory and generate a patch.
How do I tell CVS to do a diff against the remote database?
If I enter diff -purN even while logged into remote database it gives me differences against my local system
Is there some command option that you can give to diff to tell it to do a difference against source forges database?
Am I forced to check my new u-boot directory into my local CVS and add the changes do a diff on my local machine?
What do you recommend I do?
regards

Read the "Essential CVS" by J.Vespermann edited from O'Reilly
It's a good book to undestand CVS
