20 Probably not. And a good thing too.
21 Assuming the above is an accurate transcription of the command you used.
22
23 -update is definitely NOT the same as --update.
24
25 -update is equivalent to -u -p -d -a -t -e
26 so --update --pretend --debug --ask --tree --empty-tree
27 --debug, --tree produce voluminous output,
28 --empty-tree says rebuild everything.

30 Hope this helps.
