The cvs client help reports that -n does the following:


    -n              Do not execute anything that will change the disk.


I'm assuming that means do not execute anything that will change NEITHER disk - neither the repository, nor the local sandbox.

Is this correct?

I've found it to be very useful in seeing what will happen, or even seeing of any changes were made after a tag without acutally checking anything out.
