RE: cvs update -kk -j Branch1 -j Branch2 does not ignore keywords?

[Josh Baudhuin]

I think I ran into a problem like this--possibly the same issue. What I noticed 
was that after a few (sibling) directories, the -kk option started failing. It 
had to do with the fact that there were files added or removed between the 
local (checkout'd) branch and the branch from which I was merging. The merge was
        cvs update -kk -jBranchFOOTag -jLastMergedRevInBranchFOO
however, not specifying a second branch (which I would presume was different 
from what you had checked out?)
