..but I'm pretty sure for some earlier versions (<2 maybe) of cvsnt 
I was not having this problem - during branch merging - yes, but 
not for a 'normal' update. Why is there that additional new $Log$ 
line:

>$Log: reporttasks.txt,v $
>=======
>$Log$

..again, I think it started to happen since I've upgraded to CVSNT 
2.0.3

any suggestions?

It can't, really... $Log$ is special, in that it doesn't just expand 
to a
token, it start appending to a list - which means the file is actually
changing as it is committed...  We avoid conflicts in things like $Id$
(mostly) but unfortunately it's not possible with $Log$.
