Hi Frank,

I suggest to have only one command to update a given Cactus flesh 
checkout and accompanying arrangements, regardless of which repositories 
an arrangement originates from. The command should just do what's 
appropriate, eg. do a 'cvs/svn update' when a CVS/.svn subdirectory is 
found in the directory to be updated.
I would then mark the old command 'cvsupdate' as depricated and redirect 
to 'update'.
