The -d option given to the update subcommand builds directories the way cvs
checkout does. Without it, update will only operate on directories that are
already in your sandbox.
In principle you only need to specify the first "-d" when you check out, after
that if you are working in the sandbox it remembers what you last used (for
some approximation of "used"). I like to use "-P" in the second set of flags
since it will remove empty directories which are a result of CVS tracking the
history only of files, not directories.
Example checkout:
cd /usr ; cvs -d /home/ncvs co -r RELENG_7 -P src
Example update:
cd /usr/src ; cvs update -dP
If you are running as a user other than the owner of /home/ncvs, "-R" is quite
useful as it skips locking. Finally, I also like "-q" to make CVS a bit less
chatty.
