It looks like it works in the local mode but not in the client server mode.

Even if updating -rHEAD is redundant it's possible and it sets the sticky
tag attribute, I'm not sure if it used to do that, plus now it produced some
wierd results when adding file.

Example:
C:\sb\Simple>cvs ver
Client: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.01 (Travis) Build 1969
(client/server)
Server: Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.01 (Travis) Build 1969
(client/server)

C:\sb\Simple>cvs up -A
cvs server: Updating .

C:\sb\Simple>echo test.txt > test.txt

C:\sb\Simple>cvs add -r FIX1 test.txt
cvs server: scheduling file `test.txt' for addition
cvs server: use 'cvs commit' to add this file permanently

C:\sb\Simple>cvs commit -m"add to branch" test.txt
RCS file: /CVSTestData/Simple/test.txt,v
done
Checking in test.txt;
/CVSTestData/Simple/test.txt,v  <--  test.txt
initial revision: 1.1
done

C:\sb\Simple>cd ..

C:\sb>set CVSROOT=:local:c:/cvsrepo

C:\sb>cvs co tmp
cvs checkout: Updating tmp
U tmp/a.b.c.d
U tmp/cannonpa1.c

C:\sb>cd tmp

C:\sb\tmp>ls
a.b.c.d      cannonpa1.c

C:\sb\tmp>cvs up -A
cvs update: Updating .

C:\sb\tmp>echo test2.txt > test2.txt

C:\sb\tmp>cvs add -r test_branch test2.txt
cvs add: scheduling file `test2.txt' for addition on branch `test_branch'
cvs add: use 'cvs commit' to add this file permanently

C:\sb\tmp>cvs ci -m"Add test2.txt to branch" test2.txt
RCS file: c:/cvsrepo/tmp/test2.txt,v
done
Checking in test2.txt;
c:/cvsrepo/tmp/test2.txt,v  <--  test2.txt
new revision: 1.1.2.1; previous revision: 1.1
done

C:\sb\tmp>cvs ver
Concurrent Versions System (CVSNT) 2.5.01 (Travis) Build 1969
(client/server)
