  Then you probably have a sticky branch tag on the file - check with "cvs
status <filename>".  You can use "cvs update -A <filename>" to get rid of
it; this will return your working directory copy to the trunk, merging
across any local changes that you have made.  (But keep a copy of the file
just in case the merge goes awry; I don't think that -A makes a
.#filename.rev backup in the way that -C does).
