Sure, others have needed something similar and there's good support for variations on the update operation. You can select individual files to update. You can use the -n option to prevent any local files from changing but still see the list of files that would have changed. Also, whenever the local file is changed, CVS automatically saves off the original modified version with a different extension before merging in the update. See "cvs -H update", the cvsnt wiki, and the eBook for more info. I'm not sure that is a good idea to only partially update your sandbox though. For example, if there was a change that spanned multiple files with some dependency (like change a function parameter list) then you didn't update your local file it would be a problem. However, you can see there's a few other ways that hopefully will meet your needs. Regards, -- Glen Starrett
