Re: Strange "CVS update -C" behavior

[Dennis W. Bulgrien]

"cvs update -C" gives me different strange behavior:  cvs server: invalid
option -- C

Using Cygwin's:
    Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.11 (client/server)
with Linux's:
    Concurrent Versions System (CVS) 1.10.5 (client/server)

516=$ cvs update --help
update: invalid option -- -
Usage: cvs update [-APdflRp] [-k kopt] [-r rev|-D date] [-j rev]
    [-I ign] [-W spec] [files...]

        ...
        -C      Overwrite locally modified files with clean repository
copies.
        ...

517=$ cvs update -C
(Locally modified app.f moved to .#app.f.1.21)
cvs server: invalid option -- C
