I do something roughly(*) like:
ls -1d */CVS | cut -d/ -f1 | xargs cvs up -dP
... followed by a plain old "cvs up" to get the top-level files. This can
easily be put into a shell alias or function definition in one of your shell
startup scripts.

windows terminal's rectangular-block-copy-paste mode to select all the
directory names and paste them straight into the xargs invocation, but that's
not important right now.
