tagging problem

[akumar]

Hi,
One ranch was added to the cvs tree igatesys/src/base/ as follows:
igatesys/src/base/vlan/vlan.
the igatesys/src/base/vlan/ contains makefile.
When I run "cvs status -v Makefile" it is noted that:

   Sticky Tag:          (none)
   Sticky Date:         (none)
   Sticky Options:      (none)

and all tags are shown correctly.
the igatesys/src/base/vlan/vlan contains makefile.

When I run "cvs status -v Makefile" it is noted that no sticky are set.

   Sticky Tag:          (none)
   Sticky Date:         (none)
   Sticky Options:      (none)
 Existing Tags:
        No Tags Exist
and no tags are shown(which should be there)

What could possible cause of the problem?
What is the remedy?

Thanks,
With regards,
Arvind
