-b is used with cvs edit -b, so you can start work on a bug then commit 
just those changes.

-b is already used for branchpoint merges...  -B will perform a merge of 
just the bug, however it isn't as useful as it seems - because you're 
only getting a subset of the changes to the branch, you get a lot more 
conflicts.
