Yep, that works. But generally it should be sufficient to simply write:

   $ cvs -z3 update -Pd <modules...>

Where:
   -P  Means to prune/remove old stuff, and
   -d  means check out new subdirectories (since last checkout/update)

Don't forget that the cvs command rememberes the last version/tag you
checked out/updated. So to be on the safe side when you really want the
most "cutting edge":

   $ cvs -z3 update -r HEAD -Pd <modules...>

The man- and info-pages contain a lot more info for anyone who wants to
get a more in-depth look. :)
Good luck!
