in ccvs/doc/cvs.texinfo:

  Your modifications to a file are never lost when you
  use @code{update}.  If no newer revision exists,
  running @code{update} has no effect.  If you have
  edited the file, and a newer revision is available,
  @sc{cvs} will merge all changes into your working copy.

the text above don't talk that in some cases, instead of
a merge, the update will show that a conflict exists.
