It sounds like you want to do branching, which allows developers to work in parallel, instead of retrieving previous versions. The sticky tag appears when you check out a file at a specific revision level but you shouldn't do that if you intend to be able to check that file back in again. Read up on the CVS documentation about branching and merging. http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/CvsChapter62 http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/MergePoint http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html#Branches Always reply to the list, not me directly. Others may be able to answer or benefit from the q/a.
