How do I get a new directory to show up with 'cvs update'?

[H Brydon]

Howdy folks. Scenario: Two developers and/or just me with multiple
sandboxes. If a new subdirectory is added from one sandbox and committed
properly, a 'cvs co' will properly create the subdirectory but 'cvs update'
in the existing sandboxes does not add the new directory. I can't find
anything in the documentation on how to do this. I know I could create a
new sandbox and overlay directories or abandon the existing sandbox and
create a new one but this seems wrong. Surely there is a documented way to
do it. What am I missing?

You need update -d to create new directories. You might want to put
that in your ~/.cvsrc file (along with -P).

Ah yes there it is in the help and the docs, cleverly hidden right in plain
sight. I didn't understand what the "-d" help meant. It makes sense now...

Thanks for your help.
