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.

A slick way of doing this is to create a ~/.cvsrc file, which allows you to add default arguments. Here is mine:

cvs -q update -d -P diff -u

The first line adds '-q' to all cvs commands by default. I work with large projects with many directories and a global '-q' really cleans up the output. The second two lines automatically add -d -P and -u to cvs update and cvs diff respectively.
