I believe the only time that's valid is with a newly-added file or if
the existing file is already the most recent revision on the branch (in
which case there's no point in specifying the branch explicitly).

Then merge it.  In a working directory on the branch, do:

        cvs up -j HEAD TestFile.java
        cvs ci -m "message" TestFile.java
