update getting upset at time

[Paul Edwards]

If I have "touched" a file, then CVS 1.11.6 is incorrectly
stating that I have locally modified it...

cvs update: file mc_get_avs.ic is locally modified, but has been removed in
revision stl-3_2-v5

when I do a cvs update -j -j

But then it somehow resets the time, so that next time I do
exactly the same command, it agrees to action it!!!

I looked at the code (update.c), and it says in the comments:

No_Difference will already have been called ... so comparing
the timestamps is sufficient ...

Any idea what is going on?

Thanks.  Paul.


script demonstrating problem...

rm -fr rsc
cvs get -r stl-3_2 rsc/src/api/get_elf
cd rsc/src/api/get_elf
touch mc_get_avs.ic
ls -l mc_get_avs.ic

# This command doesn't clear any error
cvs commit -m "."

# This command doesn't cause an error
#cvs update -j 1.1.325.2 -j 1.1.325.1 mc_get_avs.ic

# But this causes an error, but then fixes it for the next one!
cvs update -j release-3_2-dtlmod7-d2003-07-17 -j stl-3_2-v5 mc_get_avs.ic
ls -l mc_get_avs.ic
cvs update -j release-3_2-dtlmod7-d2003-07-17 -j stl-3_2-v5 mc_get_avs.ic
ls -l mc_get_avs.ic
