cvs_stickytags.hlp - RJL 94/8/2
Created to remind me that -r 1.23 AFTER a filename sets this tag
so new revs cannot be committed; use file -A to reset it.


-r tag
          Use the revision specified by the tag argument instead of the
          default ``head'' revision.  As well as arbitrary tags defined with
          the tag or rtag command, two special tags are always available:
          `HEAD' refers to the most recent version available in the reposi-
          tory, and `BASE' refers to the revision you last checked out into
          the current working directory.

          The tag specification is ``sticky'' when you use this option with
          `cvs checkout' or `cvs update' to make your own copy of a file: cvs
          remembers the tag and continues to use it on future update com-
          mands, until you specify otherwise.  tag can be either a symbolic
          or numeric tag, in RCS fashion.  Specifying the -q option along
          with the -r option is often useful, to suppress the warning mes-
          sages when the RCS file does not contain the specified tag.  -r is
          available with the checkout, commit, diff, history, export, rdiff,
          rtag, and update commands.  Warning: this is not the same as the
          overall `cvs -r' option, which you can specify to the left of a cvs
          command!


Use the -A option to reset any sticky tags, dates, or -k options.
  	(If you get a working copy of a file by using one of the -r, -D, or
    	-k options, cvs remembers the corresponding tag, date, or kflag and
      	continues using it on future updates; use the -A option to make cvs
	forget these specifications, and retrieve the ``head'' version of
	the file).
