Well, it's always a mistake to defend your own man page, but still I'll
point out that cvsup(1) does say this:
In general, CVSup deletes only files which are known to the
server. Extra files present in the client's tree are left
alone, even in exact mode. More precisely, CVSup is willing
to delete two classes of files:
o Files that were previously created or updated by CVSup
itself.
o Checked-out versions of files which are marked as dead on
the server.
