RE: CVS question
But "release-21-2" is a branch. Hrvoje is right; once you've checked out
the "release-21-2" branch, a "cvs update" in the checked out directory
will
get you the latest bits in the "release-21-2" branch.

When you update, you get the HEAD of the 21.2 branch. So a simple
`cvs update' will do the right thing. At least that's how it works
for me.
No, tags are "sticky", which means that a subsequent "cvs
update"
will still use the previously-specified tag. To override this, you
have to specify a new/different tag, or you have to use the "-A" option
(e.g., "cvs update -A"), to reset your sources to the main trunk.
