This patch causes Fink to only output the files that have been added or updated since the last fink update; all of the lines beginning with '? ' are filtered out and all of the various "updating directory" messages from cvs are suppressed.
You can easily suppress the "updating directory" messages by putting a line

cvs -q

into your ~/.cvsrc file.

I am not sure whether suppressing the lines beginning with '?' is a good idea. There shouldn't be any such line, after all. If there are, you should do something about them. So this is valuable information. The same goes for failure of cvs update because of some other error message like the famous "Conflict ..., move ... out of the way". Even if this is a somewhat cryptic error message, it asks for action. Your "true" at the end will suppress this error, too.

If you do this, you can end up with a rather rotten /sw/fink tree without knowing about it.
