Situation with 2.5.01.1921:
-Sandbox checked out to a branch tag (Branch1).
-One file updated with "reset sticky" (HEAD)
-Two files updated to two different branches (Branch2, Branch3)

When running an update on the sandbox all files revert back to the
Branch1 tag!
This makes it impossible to have one or two files kept on a different
branch in order to not pollute changes to them into the working
branch, example of such are local config files. These I usually keep
on a private branch so other developers don't see my local settings
and they are kept out of the loop.
This technique has worked fine up until now. But requires cvs to keep
files on the branches to which they are checked out to....
