RE: cvs commit: Up-to-date check failed

[Josh Baudhuin]

Also note that if you've previously done a  
        cvs update -r<rev> <file>
without the -p option, your subsequent update (to bring your sandbox
up-to-date) will not affect that particular file. You need to say
        cvs update -A
to get rid of the sticky revision tag on the <file> that's presenting
the problem when you try to commit.

When you get up to date failures, it means that the working copy( in
your sandbox ) is not based off of the latest that is saved in the
repository.  In this situation you need to run a cvs update first and
then resolve any merge conflicts( if at all ) and then retry 
to commit.  

You really want the working copy to be up-to-date
before you commit, else you can have situations where
you commit a change and loose other changes that
people have made to the file in question.
