If you've made changes to GENERIC, then you'll lose them and/or confuse
CVS. If you've copied GENERIC to a new kernal config file and made the
changes to that, cvsup by default won't delete that; however, changes to
GENERIC won't be tracked into your new kernel config.

For my workstation I keep the differences between GENERIC and my kernel
handy, then rebuild the kernel config file from the updated GENERIC
after a cvsup. (Taking care to check GENERIC and /usr/src/UPDATING for
any gotchas.)
