RE: cannot commit ... sticky tags

Yes, the sticky tags just mean that the tree you were working in
was pulled (or the one you used to create) the Release_Aug21_2001 tag,
they 
haven't been "put on every file" in any different way than
when you tagged the tree before you left.  Developers that have been
working in sandboxes pulled by cvs co 'module name' - will not be
seeing this and will be checking-in fine.

The cvs update -A will both remove the sticky tag to the
Release_Aug21_2001 tag
in your working directory, and it will merge the newest revisions from
your
main trunk into any files that have been modified since that tag.

If you first run a recursive cvs status command and grep for "Needs
merge" - then
these are the files you have locally modified, and also have been
modified at the 
top of the tree by other developers.  These are the files you'll have to
watch 
carefully (and backup if you are paranoid) to make sure the merge is
successful.

Run:
cvs update -A

This will remove the sticky tags holding you to a particular release.
