   The CVS docs are maddeningly vague about this...

   I thought it was the latter, but I just did a bit of testing, and the
   result of using -rHEAD is different depending on which command you use.

   . . .

      * "cvs update -rHEAD src/xfaces.c" _changes_ the sticky tag from the
        file to be "HEAD", and updates it to be the latest revision on
        _the trunk_.

It's even worse than that.  If you edit src/xfaces.c, you'll find you
can't commit the change; you must first do "cvs update -A src/xfaces.c"
to get it fully back onto the trunk.  If you look at emacs/CVS/Entries,
you'll notice that "trunk" is denoted by the absence of a tag (field
between the last two slashes), not an explicit "HEAD".

   IMHO, "-rHEAD" is strictly to be avoided.
