I believe it's a problem with pkgsrc "cvs", though I'm not certain.
At least, I do recall that "-C" didn't quite work in the past, but now
that I've fully updated to 1.6, it seems to work with no problem.

Of course you know that "cvs update -C" discards your local changes?
I prefer, rather "cvs update -dP > /var/tmp/cvs.log". Then, files that
had been changed locally are indicated by an "M" in "cvs.log" if the
merge was successful, or a "C" if attention is required.
