Re: Updating a file without updating its surrounding directory

[Jacob Weber]

As far as I can tell, -d only creates new directories *within* the  
one you update. It doesn't try to create directories *surrounding*  
the one you update. The documentation on this option is a little  
misleading, since it just says "Build directories, like checkout does."

It looks like the answer is to do cvs checkout, instead of update.

Thanks,
Jacob
