I don't think it's a problem. Users don't usually think in terms of command line options (maybe except "cvs update -Pd" and "cvs diff -u" because they are so common) so this would lead to an increased readability.
I suggest the following syntax (put all options in a single attribute): <cvs-update purgeempty="true" newdirs="false" overwritelocal="true" extraoptions="-D ..." /> What do you think?
