cvs update -n will tell you which files have changed locally ("M") and
which have changed on the server ("U") without changing your sandbox.

You don't need to specify the changed files during a commit though.
Simply running "cvs commit" will only save the locally changed files to
the repository.

Try reading this to get a feel for how CVS works (sorry, I don't know if
there are any translations available):
