Just a correction to my last post. The commands should have been:
cvs --help-options and
cvs --help update
I just want to say that if you prefer to use the command then that is
definitely an option and honestly I would not want to limit that choice. I seem to

I know that this is the requirement of the cvs client.
I just think that tasks should be smart and isolate the user from
the complexities of the cvs arguments. If they aren't I think I'm better off

is something done in cvs already, not something I am introducing. If you are unsure
of what I mean please type:
cvs --help-options
and
cvs --help-options update

lead to an increased readability.
I suggest the following syntax (put all options in a single attribute):

Hi,
More meaningful names does make a lot of sense (I have this in place for
sticky-tag and override-directory). I would prefer to stay with the
option collection simply because using attributes for every option
available will get messy. So maybe something like:
Clayton,
Wouldn't it be better to implement some meaningful attributes for this?
(BTW. I believe -Pd are so common that they should be on by default and
there should be an option to turn them off for special ocasions)
