Of course. `cvs-examine' and `cvs-status' are there only for
historical reasons. *THE* entry point to PCL-CVS is cvs-quickdir.

Which is indeed all the info you'll ever get from all other VCSes.
Their `vc-dir' command will never tell you "needs-update" either.

That's a limitation of the underlying backend. Not much we can do about it.

Actually it might be better off using cvs-fileinfo-from-entries.
The only shortcoming of cvs-fileinfo-from-entries is that it won't show
you the "unknown" files (files that are neither ignored nor under CVS
control).
