[support] CVS Update to my Drupal install didn't work

[Shai Gluskin]

Drupalers,

I'm new to using CVS for checking out Drupal. I just tried to update an
installation that I had installed via a CVS checkout.

Via the command line, and in the drupal directory, I typed:
cvs update -dP

I was pleased to see some messages from the terminal that led me to believe
it was a successful update. But after it was done, my site was still 5.3,
like it was before the update.

Based on my limited knowledge of CVS, I think the problem might have been
with my original CVS command, which was:

cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous at cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal co -r
DRUPAL-5-3 drupal


Is this essentially impossible to update since I explicitly wrote 5-3?
Should I just have written Drupal-5 to get the latest version of the Drupal
5 branch which would then be updatable with the cvs update command?

Do I need to start over with a fresh CVS checkout?

Would this be the correct command:

cvs -z6 -d:pserver:anonymous:anonymous at cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal co -r
DRUPAL-5 drupal


Thanks for the help.
