Personally, I usually work against a checkout from a local mirror of the
CVS repository (which you can create via cvsup or rsync). With that
setup, "cvs add" and "cvs diff -N" work fine, since you can arrange for
write access to the local mirror.

(I'm always surprised to hear that anyone does a non-trivial amount of
work on Postgres without setting up a CVS mirror...)
