+
+    <dd>Updates your local archive so it is in sync with the repository 
+    -- your local updates are left intact.  Tries to merge upstream updates

+    <dd>Same thing
+    <dt><pre>cvs update &lt file name &gt</pre>

+    <dt><pre>cvs log &lt file name &gt</pre>

+    Along with all tags, all commit messages, etc...

+    <dd>Gives you the current version number of the file(s) in question.

+    version 1.5 of the named file(s).
+    <dt><pre>cvs diff -r TAGNAME &lt file name &gt</pre>
+
+    <dd>Same but gives you the difference between the named file(s) and the 
+    of the file tagged TAGNAME in the upstream repository.
+    <dt><pre>cvs rdiff -r TAGNAME module</pre>
+    <dd>Gives you a diff (that you can actually use with patch) between the current 
+    version of module and the specified tagged version.
