[cvsnt] Cvs update affecting timestamps on directories unnecessarily

The original post said "When I execute a 'cvs update -d' or a 'cvs
update -P', " so not 'cvs up -d -P', but two different commands and that
either.  

You are quite right that 'cvs update -d' followed by 'cvs update -P'
could change the directory timestamp.
