Rather than mark all the files, you can just use `O' with *no marks* and
with point on the directory you want to update. Better yet: M-u will update
the toplevel directory on the *cvs* buffer no matter what marks you've
placed. Updating file-by-file is generally not what you want because it'll
miss the new files/directories.
