cvs [update aborted]: no such tag foo-6

[Wayne Walker]

Hi,

I'm having a terrible time with merges (of course at release time).
My first problem is below, the second one is in a separate email.

When I run:

cvs -q update -j foo-6 -j foo-branch

I get this response:

cvs [update aborted]: no such tag foo-6

I can verify the tag exists with lstag -l and by doing a checkout:

cvs -d /opt/CVS co -r foo-6

runs successfully and a cvs status of any file shows a sticky tag of
foo-6, verifying that the tag really exists.

I've tried both adding and removing "foo-6 y" from val-tags.

The repository in question is running on RedHat 8.0 with CVS 1.11.2.

The same behavior exists using 1.11.9.  (I copied the repository to
another machine and upgraded cvs there)

Thank you in advance!
