We have just installed cvs and are finally starting to get a grip on how to use it. One conceptual problem so far update vs checkout. What is the real difference between the two? I orginally thought that checkout was the only way to get newly added directories (and create the local CVS subdirectories). Now, from this newsgroup, I see that there is update -d which seems very much like checkout. If you always wanted to update -d, is there any reason not to use checkout? Is checkout simply a 'convienient' way of saying update -d (or perhaps with some other switches) or is there a more fundemental difference?
