And just for the edification of the list, an explanation of the other two
flags Barry suggested:
"-P" says "give me new directories (and their contents) if any have been
           created."
"-d" says "remove unmodified files (and resulting empty directories) that
           are no longer relevant."

Order should not matter, and I never tracked it down as far as I should,
but let me mention that I've witnessed people having cvs problems when the
flags are ordered "-P -d" instead of "-d -P"

from cvs --help update :
        -A      Reset any sticky tags/date/kopts.
        -P      Prune empty directories.
        -d      Build directories, like checkout does.
