CVS diff default behavior

I spent some time wondering why cvs diff does not show the local files which differ from the most recent revision. It turned out that this is simply the default behavior, as described in man page:
Quote:
The default action is to compare your working files with the revisions they were based on
For example to compare with newest revisions:
Code:
cvs diff --brief -D now
Example:
Code:
cvs -n update -dP
