cvs update won't grab new directories that appear from time to time.
You'll need to do cvs checkout src for that from time to time still.
However, it is effectively an update on an already checked out tree,
so it isn't as expensive as the original checkout.

BTW, I've found that keeping the CVS tree on a slow, possibly
removable disk helps me keep the number of system utilities installed
to a maximum :-).  JAZ drive is what I use, since anything else
couldn't hold the CVS tree (since the others are all < 250M that I've
seen).  I also hold my OpenBSD sources and my NetBSD reference sources
as well on this JAZ drive, in addition to a couple of Linux versions
and X11R6.1 sources and build tree (second disk cart for these,
however).  A handy device to have around when you want to hack at a
lot of different things, but not all at once...  On the second cart I
also keep the old CTM diffs too, since they otherwise take up 50Mish
somewhere (or I have to FTP a 35M file, which is somewhat painful to
do).  Nice drives for $400 with carts ~100 in quantity.
