[cvsnt] Update and file dates

[Keith D. Zimmerman]

Not actually sure...  I'm the admin, one of the users who stores
non-source type files in cvs has requested this.  I guess I could tell
him just to do checkout every time?

The reason for the behaviour you mention above is to ensure 'make' can
correctly determine to remake files dependent on those that got "cvs
update"-ed.

AFAIK, there is no way to make update behave like checkout in this
respect.

Why do you want it to?
