Meld will graphically show you the differences, if that's your
preference. Personally, I like the visual cues of syntax-highlighting,
provided by the colordiff tool. So my diff checking tends to be:

$ cvs diff -u branch-dir/ | colordiff | less -R

Of course, this is very tedious to type, so I've just set a cvsdiff
function in my .bash_profile that makes it much simpler:

cvsdiff() { cvs diff -u "$@" | colordiff | less -R }

Then it's a simple "cvsdiff foo/bar.spec" etc. to check my working copy
versus what's in the CVS tree currently. Bash-completion then makes that
"cvsd<tab>" :)
