Is there any simple way to show only the files in my repository that have been locally added, removed, or modified? I know that I can type "cvs stat" and look through the list of files, but that is tedious and error-prone. I am wondering if there is an easier way. I am using CVS 1.11.17, in case that matters.

A 'dummy' update will give you this information.
cvs -qn update
A short description of the used options:
-q Cause CVS to be somewhat quiet.
-n Do not execute anything that will change the disk.
You can get a short listing of differences using the cvs diff command:
cvs -q diff --brief
you can use following command to get the list of files you modified locally
cvs -qn update | grep "M " | awk '{print $2}'
