I see.  I think it still doesn't quite work like all
other commands since "cvs command" is usually
equivalent to "cvs command .".

Either a separate default watch command should be
created (eg "cvs watch default-on") or default should
be on by default (I really can't see why anyone would
want to turn on watches for existing elements, but not
for future elements).  In fact, I think I had a while
back submitted to SourceForge/RCVS something to fix
this.  How does everyone else feel about this?
