Hello,

I'm having a problem with the edit/commit/unedit sequence (and possibly the
edit/update/unedit sequence). Quite often (but it seems not always) the
following happens:

- I do an edit on a file
- I modify it and commit it (or I don't modify it, but an update modifies
it)
- On a subsequent unedit I get the message that the file has been modified
and it asks me whether I want to revert.

If I revert, it gets reverted to a previous revision and I need to update
the file to get the HEAD revision (that I committed immediately before the
unedit, or that I already got through the update preceding the unedit). If
I don't revert, the file doesn't get unedited (at least not in the
sandbox).

An additional edit after the commit or update cleans that up and allows me
to unedit without problems. This looks like cvsnt wouldn't keep track of
the local backup copies properly on commit or update and still think that
the outdated local backup copy is valid -- even after a commit (or update).

Am I doing something wrong? This is cvsnt 2.0.34 on the server, and 2.0.41a
through Tortoise on the client. I think this started to happen at a certain
point (that is, cvsnt version), but I'm not sure when exactly. I didn't
consciously track the cvsnt revisions bundled with Tortoise.

Thanks,
Gerhard
