A matter of reading. I didn't mean "cvs export" as command, but a cvs export as
in "cvs commit" :)

cvs export needs a tag (or date) and creates a "shippable" export without
repository information and so not updateable.

cvs checkout creates a working copy of the repository, which is updateable like
mentioned in the docs (cvs update -Pd).
