Thanks for the reply. I understand that if the user does 'cvs update' 
cvs wouldn't know which modules to update. However, if the user 
specifies the module as in 'cvs update module' (similar to what they 
would have done with checkout) then the module would be known. Clearly 
the user could just do a 'cvs checkout module' again and get the 
expected result, however, so it's probably not a big issue. (In fact, 
that's what I advised my user to do.) Thanks again.
