RE: cvs update -A doesn't work . . . ?

 Robert -- the output of 'status,' 'update,' 'status,' and then a final try
at commiting the file is below.

 By 'doesn't do a thing,' I mean that the status of the file doesn't seem to
change nor can I commit the file.

 I'm new to cvs, and I've been reading the documentation and the cvs book
(by Jennifer Vesperman), but I'm still quite lost about what the problem is
exactly.  Thanks Robert.

What do you mean by "doesn't do a thing"? No output, does not change the
situation, ?

You can see current sticky tags on a file with "cvs status file", and
update just that file to the trunk using "cvs update -A file". Are you
sure you are in the right directory, and are operating on a CVS
module that's been checked out (e.g. not one directory up)?

Please send the full output of these commands:

cvs status file
cvs up -A file
cvs status file
