Re: cvs update

Hi Ulf,

:  I constantly keep doing ``cvs update -PdR''.  When I do this I get a bunch of
:  new things that I don't get when I do a ``cvs co binutils'' and I have to
:  fix my CVS local tree manually.  Is the update command just broken or is
:  this intentional?  I think it worked before the major restructuring of the
:  CVS tree a while ago.

One other solution to this cvs "feature" is to only run 'cvs update -d'
on the subdirectories create by the cvs checkout.  This prevents any
new top level directories from cliuttering your disk, and it is a very
rare thing that a new top level directory is needed by the current
modules:

	alias cvs-up  'cvs -q update -PdR *'

Cheers
	Nick
