Yes. cvsup(1) -i pattern Causes cvsup to include only files and directories matching pattern in the update. If a directory matches the pattern, then the entire subtree rooted at the directory is included. If this option is specified multiple times, the patterns are combined using the `or' operation. If no -i options are giv- en, the default is to update all files in each collection. The pattern is a standard file name pattern. It is inter- preted relative to the collection's prefix directory. Slash characters are matched only by explicit slashes in the pat- tern. Leading periods in file name are not treated special- ly. -- Wolfram Schneider http://www.apfel.de/~wosch/
