update vs. checkout |

We have just installed cvs and are finally starting to get a grip on how
to use it. One conceptual problem so far update vs checkout. What is
the real difference between the two? I orginally thought that checkout
was the only way to get newly added directories (and create the local
CVS subdirectories). Now, from this newsgroup, I see that there is
update -d which seems very much like checkout. If you always wanted to
update -d, is there any reason not to use checkout? Is checkout simply
a 'convienient' way of saying update -d (or perhaps with some other
switches) or is there a more fundemental difference?
Thanks,
Tom Udale
