Ok, so I do a cvs checkout -rRELENG_2_1_0 src Why can't I use a cvs update -dP src to keep it up to date? If I try, it will bring in newly created directories in other branches. If I use cvs update -dP -rRELENG_2_1_0 src it seems to work as expected but, in general, the -r flag to checkout is supposed to be sticky. The man page seems to imply that I should not need to specify the -r for the update. This is using cvs 1.6.3pl2, which is what is in -stable. It may well just be a bogon in the old version, but didn't notice a mention of the problem being fixed in the ChangeLog for the current version...
