Too bad that you can't exactly recreate the binaries -- a binary is what it is, and rarely duplicatable 100%. > [0] and WTF does cvs not pick up new directories by default? How is > that a good idea? Who knows. For years, I've got this in my .profile: alias sup='cvs -z3 -q update -d -P' It's the -d -P part that does it.

Or add a .cvsrc file to your home directory:

update -dP diff -wu cvs -q

==== pass -dP options to cvs update (add directories, prune empty dirs) pass -wu options to cvs diff (ignore whitespace, unified diff) pass -q option to all cvs commands (ignore useless msgs about directories)
