It should handle it fine.  If you knew before hand what needed to be
updated, you can simply specify that on the command line.

  $ cd /usr/src
  $ cvs up etc/rc

Or even ...

  $ cd /usr/src/etc
  $ cvs up

It's quite easy to update only parts of the tree that are needed.

  $ cd /usr/src
  $ cvs up etc/rc lib/libc sys/dev
