I seem to remmber something similar discussed relatively recently but I
cannot find it again. Anyway, it didn't seem important to me back then
but now I've been hit by it and I'm definitely annoyed...

This is a pretty common scenario for me:
I create a branch for trying some experimental stuff and in starting to
do so make changes that I realize could go straight to the trunk
instead. Thus I simply reset the sticky branch tag on those modified
files, commit to the trunk, move the branch tag to the new HEAD and
update back to the branch.

I just had to do this again and found that CVSNT would no longer reset
the sticky tag on modified files. Is this intentional? If so, how could
I turn it off again?!

I just upgraded my client binary to 2.5.01.1997 before doing this but
couldn't say when was the last time this worked. No more than a one or
two weeks I think...
The server is still 2.0.51d .

Cheers,
