Personally, when I'm working on something, I stop doing CVS updates
because I want the code I'm developing against to be stable.  However,
when I've made progress, I grab a "cvs diff" to a separate file as a patch.
Now that I've grabbed a context sensitive backup of my work, in case 
something terrible happens, I do the update and bring in everybody
else's work.  Then I look to see whether they broke what I was working on.
