This is so spooky, I wrote an almost identical email direct to

You might want to also put "cvs -z3 -q" in there -- it stops it
mentioning all the directories it's recursing into, which makes
it much easier to notice when it actually does something useful
(like finds a file that's been modified, or isn't in the
repository), and it also tells CVS to request compression in the
transfers. For me, a "cvs update" with no changes to get just
prints a single line, reminding me that I didn't add the `perl'
directory to the repository. Speaking of which, maybe I
should... Nobody seemed that interested in it though (which
isn't really that surprising).
