You're right, I wasn't remembering this correctly. 

Actually there's a -d just after cvs which specifies the CVS root, and another 
option after update, which is documented as:


            Use  the  -d  option to create any directories that exist in
            the repository if they're missing from  the  working  direc-
            tory.   (Normally, update acts only on directories and files
            that were already enrolled in your working directory.)  ...
