Tony I am not using the "-r" option of the "update" command. I am using the merge option with two tags for the CVS update command. The first tag was the branch itself while the second tag was a tag used on four files. So the update command is supposed to merge the differences between the tags. When the first tag exists and the second does not, CVS assumes that the file is to be removed? This would appear to be expected behavior. If the second tag exists and the first does not, is the file replaced?
