It appears that the wrong thing is done when I do a rdiff like so:

C:\builds\cvs_use_case\scripts>cvs rdiff -kk -r "@6d4424de0420994"  -r
"@<6d4424de0420994" simple
cvs server: Diffing simple
Index: simple/b.cpp
diff -c simple/b.cpp:1.2.2.1 simple/b.cpp:1.1
*** simple/b.cpp:1.2.2.1        Fri Apr  1 16:23:08 2005
--- simple/b.cpp        Fri Apr  1 16:23:08 2005
{Actuall diff removed for brevity}

It should have selected version 1.2.2.1 and 1.2.

This problem also appears to effect update with the following command.

C:\builds\cvs_use_case\simple>cvs update -kk -j "@6d4424de0420994" -j
"@<6d4424de0420994"
cvs server: Updating .
U a.cpp
U b.cpp
RCS file: /CVSTestData/simple/b.cpp,v
retrieving revision 1.2.2.1
retrieving revision 1.1
Merging differences between 1.2.2.1 and 1.1 into b.cpp

Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the previous version of
b.cpp is not on the branch.

Is this a bug or am I missing something?

I'm using cvsnt client and server 2.5.01 1910
