[Dev] Alec's developer tip of the week

[Grant Baillie]

You might want "up -P -d", since otherwise cvs update won't create 
directories that other users have added to the repository.

As YASVNP(*), in subversion you can set things like this on a 
per-server basis (or globally). Also, since it has a more enlightened 
view of directories, there's no silliness with "-P", or "-d", and no 
spamming the commit list anytime anyone adds a directory anywhere (one 
of my pet peeves about "cvs add" of a directory).
