# The following lines are NOT NECESSARY, but you might find them useful
# Show new files in current project
alias cvsnew="cvs status | grep ?"
# Show status of all *not* Up-to-date files
alias cvsstatus="cvs status 2>&1 | grep Status | grep -v Up"
# Update the current project
alias cvsupdate="cvs update -P -C -d 2>&1 | grep -v 'cvs update: Updating'"

Use always cvs update with -d -P (-C is also comfortable)
