Need help on cvs update -I (Cap i ) is not working?

[Courier]

Hello cvs suers,

First, all my cvs client and server are run on Linux and cvs version is
1.12.6.

Now my question does cvs -I still working on this 1.12.6 version?

Here is what I am trying to do (not realy me, but one of my users)

He is doing:

cvs update -I file_name under his current working dir. The file_name is
the old file and in the repository has the newer than the one he has.

But cvs still updating to the latest file.

Here is my duplicate what my user is trying to do:

"
cvs status mkcscope.sh

File: mkcscope.sh       Status: Needs Patch

   Working revision:    1.7
   Repository revision: 1.8     /cvs/cvsroot/PATH/mkcscope.sh,v
   Sticky Tag:          (none)
   Sticky Date:         (none)
   Sticky Options:      (none)

---- Now I do cvs update -I -----

cvs update -I mkcscope.sh  ---> here is what I got:
cvs update: Updating .
P dir_list.txt
P makefile
P mkcscope.sh
P mktags.sh
cvs update: Updating 3rdParty
cvs update: Updating 3rdParty/TimesTen
-----------
Then :

cvs status mkcscope.sh
File: mkcscope.sh       Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:    1.8
   Repository revision: 1.8     /cvs/cvsroot/PATH/mkcscope.sh,v
   Sticky Tag:          (none)
   Sticky Date:         (none)
   Sticky Options:      (none)
-------------

As you see now I got Working revision:    1.8 . I don't want that file to
be updated.

So can anyone help? or do I have to deal with it. I know we can work
around this issue, but I just want to know does -I still work?

Thank you,

C-
