repository status and recovered files

List,

So I had the need to recover a deleted file from an experimental branch 
I had started and then merged with the mainline.

I had released the experimental branch following the merge, happy with 
the results. Since the experimental branch had been merged with the 
mainline, the deleted file was properly reflected. I then branched a 
new line of development ( rtag -b RB2_0 ). Upon noticing the file was 
needed I followed the manual and updated using
    `update -j[deleted version] -j[previous version] image.jpg'.

This recovered the file. But I wanted to understand a little more about 
the repository status of the file as noted in `status image.jpg'.

sandbox % cvs status image.jpg
===================================================================
File: image.jpg        Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:    1.1.4.1 Sun Aug 15 02:28:57 2004
   Repository revision: 1.1.4.1 
/usr/local/cvsroot/wwwroot/common/images/Attic/pebble.jpg,v
   Sticky Tag:          RB2_0 (branch: 1.1.4)
   Sticky Date:         (none)
   Sticky Options:      -kb

sandbox %

So, note how the "Repository revision" is noted as in the "Attic". Can 
anyone elaborate what is going on here? Shouldn't the file now be on 
the branch and not in the Attic following recovery?

Many thanks in advance,
Tim
