title: Is there a way to get a short CVS status from command line?
body: <p>When doing a <code>cvs update</code>, you get a nice summary of the state of the repository, for example:</p>
  
  <pre><code>M src/file1.txt
  M src/file2.txt
  C src/file3.txt
  A src/file4.txt
  ? src/file5.txt
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Is there a way to get this without actually updating? I know there is <code>cvs status</code>, but this is way to verbose:</p>
  
  <pre><code>===================================================================
  File: file6.txt        Status: Up-to-date
  
  Working revision:    1.2
  Repository revision: 1.2     /var/cvs/cvsroot/file6.txt,v
  Sticky Tag:          (none)
  Sticky Date:         (none)
  Sticky Options:      (none)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I could of course make a script to do the transformation from the latter to the former, but it seems a waste of time since cvs can obviously produce the former.</p>
