Yes, that's correct. There is no way to apply global options to
individual commands.

You could set up an alias (or batch script depending on your O/S), and
use it instead. Something like:

alias cvs_update='cvs -q update'

On a UNIX-like command (including Cygwin) pipe the output through:

egrep -v '^\?'

Other than that, I can't think of anything.
