AFAIK there is no built-in command line option to do that. Depending on your client GUI (if you use one), you may be able to do that one directory at a time by sorting the files by cvs status and only updating the unmodified ones. OTOH this doesn't seem to make much sense. If there are changes in files you have modified and changes in files you have not modified, chances are the changes are related and it doesn't help you a lot to get only the changes in files you haven't modified. This may easily break the build. If you don't want to update yet, just don't. If you want to see what the others are up to without updating your working copy, keep a second sandbox around in which you don't work, but which you update regularly. Gerhard
