[Python-Dev] suggestion for PEP 101

I noticed that the first step in creating a release is

    ___ Do a CVS update with the -A flag, e.g.
        % cvs update -A

I would suggest adding the -d and -P flags to this command (so cvs
update -APd).
The -d flag says to create directories that are in the repository but
not in the checked-out version (handy for new directories), and the -P
flag says to delete (prune) empty directories from the checked-out
version (handy for directories that have become empty because all
files were deleted).
