CVS oinly works with files, so there is not any way to commit directly a 
patch.

For doing something like you want, there are 2 possible ways:
- modify the code, create the patch, look at the patch and see what you want 
to modify and change the file (not the patch) and start again the cycle until 
you feel that you have want you want to commit. (That is the recommended 
way.)

- the other way is especially useful when you have too much modified. After 
creating the patch, use "cvs update -C" which loads back an unmodified 
version of the file. Then you can either re-modify the file or patch the 
file.

Have a nice day!
