Why not running "cvs update" in dry-run mode? With this workaround you
can see if a file has a new version on the current branch or if you have
a local modification.

$ cvs -nq up
M file1 # localy modified
G file2 # localy modified + new version on repository + successful merge
C file3 # localy modified + new version on repository + conflicting merge
U file4 # new version on repository
A file5 # file to be added in next commit
? file6 # unversionned file

That's not pretty as "svn status --show-updates" can be, but it's very
useful when you can't migrate to Subversion :-)
