CVS checks any existing copies of the project with the ones in the repository and updates
all of the files on the user’s machine.
The option co is an alias for the checkout option and they may be used interchangeably.
6.4.4 Finding the Status of a Project
After working on a project for a time, it may be necessary for you to determine which files
in your working directory and which files in the repository have changed.
In order to accomplish this, you may use the status option of the CVS command. If this
command is issued from the working directory without a project name, that project will be
examined. If it is issued from another directory, you should include the project name to prevent
CVS from trying to examine all of the subdirectories of the current directory for project information.
# cd fuzion
# cvs status
