It's nice, IMHO :)

I regularly use the same trick here.  When I want to build world and
keep a logfile of all that's going on, I use something like this:

    # cd /root
    # sh build.sh -cu 2>&1 | tee logfile

and one of the things that build.sh does when the -u option is present is:

    cd /usr/src
    ...
    if [ $rc_update -ne 0 ]; then
        echo '::: Updating the sources from CVS'
        env CVSROOT=/home/ncvs CVSFLAGS='-APd -I! -I CVS' \
            make update
        unset rc_update
    fi
