Details:

Hi all,
After upgrading our cvs server from 1.11 to 1.11.22, we're seeing some
problems/differences.

One obvious thing is that if a 'cvs update' operation resulted in a Conflict
in a file, you can no longer do a "cvs update -C file.cpp" to revert the
whole thing.

If you try, you get this:
    (Locally modified file.cpp moved to .#file.cpp.1.4)
    C file.cpp
and the file remains, still containing the conflicts.

When the server was 1.11, this would do what the documentation says "update
-C" does, namely:  "Overwrite the locally modified files with clean copies
from the repository".

As a subtle variant, if you 'touch' the conflicted file (as instructed in
section 10.3 of the manual), you get a somewhat different message.  The
problem remains though...
    (Locally modified file.cpp moved to .#file.cpp.1.4)
    cvs update: warning: file.cpp was lost
    cvs update: move away ./file.cpp; it is in the way
    C file.cpp

Note that this seems to be a known/reported problem, but I haven't
encountered any solution:
