Exporting only changed files from CVS

[Jonathan Hurshman]

Hello everyone,

I am relatively new to CVS, having used Source Safe and StarTeam in the
past. I am using CVS to track web development projects. I would like to
be able to export from CVS into a directory where a non-CVS version of
the application already resides, and have CVS only update new or
changed files. Is this even possible?

I thought "cvs export" might do this, but it complains that the
existing files are "in the way".

If what I'm asking for can't be done with CVS, I'd be glad to hear best
practices for how to deploy new releases of web applications out of CVS
(hosted on IIS, if that matters).
