option is used, CVS does not create any intervening directories unless -N is
also specified.
-r revision
Run the subcommand on the specified revision or tag of a file. If this option
refers to a branch, run the command on the latest (HEAD) revision of the
branch.
-R Run the subcommand on the files in the local directory and all subdirectories
and recurse down the subdirectories. This option is generally the default. See
also -l.

names or patterns. ...
