cvs -n update

(see cvs --help-options)

Look for lines that begin with M (modified) or C (conflicted)

Useful aliases (csh syntax):

        alias cvsquery 'cvs -n update \!* |& grep "^[MCUP?] "'
        alias cvsmodified 'cvs -n update \!* |& grep "^[MC] "'

then

        cvsquery
        cvsquery [-l] [files or dirs]
        cvsmodified
        cvsmodified [-l] [files or dirs]
        etc
