You have done something like:

    >cvs checkout -r ALPHA_1_0_1
or  >cvs update -r ALPHA_1_0_1

which means you have a sticky tag on your current sandbox. You can't
make any changes against that version because it is not a branch. You
need to do:

    >cvs update -A
or  >cvs update -r <branch>

where <branch> is the branch you are currently working on, before you
can remove or commit to the file in question.

John
