"Following -stable", changes unknown until cvs checkout?

[Daybreak Breakdaze]

Hi, I recently checkout and rebuilt my kernel and
userland using the stable tags (in cvs).

After searching mail archives and reading the FAQs I
am asking this...

As far as I can tell, there is no way to see if
changes have been made to the patch branch until the
source is checked out?

In other words there is no release tag available for
the cvs "status" or "diff" command, and the
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/?only_with_tag=OPENBSD_3_1#dirlist
 is out of date.

So basically my plan is to patch only if I see new
errata posted on the web site.

The reason I rebuilt is I had trouble with simply
using the individual patches, except the first one
(dhcpd).

It wasn't too bad, it took WAY less time than
compiling the linux kernel, which I did a while back
for fun.

So far I like OpenBSD better than GNU/Linux for older
machines and for system cleanliness and stability.

Thanks.
