-n Do not run any program listed in the modules file for this directory.
-N Do not shorten the path. CVS usually creates the same directory structure that
the repository uses. However, if the checkout contains only one file and the -d
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.

Contains a list of files CVS should not process. The format is one or more
lines, with whitespace-separated filenames or shell wildcard patterns
matching files that CVS should ignore when producing informational
messages and during commit, update,orstatus operations. A single ! causes
CVS to empty out its ignore list and start over again with subsequent file-
names or patterns. ...
