Unless you have a fast connection to hub.org, another good switch is
"-z3" to enable use of gzip compression on the cvs server connection.
(Marc presumably doesn't need this, but I sure do.)
-z is a "generic" switch that applies to all cvs ops not just update,
so it goes on the left side of the update keyword:
cvs -q -z3 update -APd
BTW, you can use a ~/.cvsrc file to set default switches and not
have to remember to supply them. I use
cvs -z3
update -d -P
so I can just type "cvs update". Any other cvs command that I issue
will also automatically get -z3, which makes cvs a lot more usable
over a modem link.
