It will update you to the latest, greatest version in the tree.  Namely,
something that IS experimental and past the 1.5 release.  To get the
updated 1.5 release, use the "-r" flag.  You'll need to use it every
time to insure you've got the right release.

  cd /usr/src
  cvs update -rnetbsd-1-5 -d -P
