Are you seeing any sticky options at all?
Ermmm, I am now. I had "checkout -ko -P" and "update -Pd" in my
~/.cvsrc. I didn't realise that -ko would replace the -kb, but looking
at the docs again they make it reasonably clear that this is the case.

It depends on whether files have a common ancestor or not.
etc/photos/*.png
was introduced after the split, so they were checked into each branch in
separately. The 21.0 branch does not appear to have `-kb', but the 21.2
branch does. If the 21.2 branch isn't correct, something else is wrong.
After doing a "cvs update -A", I'm also now seeing -kb on the 21.0 tree
as well. Unless you've just applied the -kb flag to the files in the
21.0 tree, the -kb option really does appear to be global:
