It's very easy:
"cvs up -r <rev>" will update to <rev> and create sticky tags.
"cvs up -A" will update to the latest revision and wipe out sticky tags.
"cvs up -r <rev> -A" will update to <rev> and wipe out sticky tags.
You see, there's currently no way to wipe out sticky tags without updating to
the latest version.

I can see how this can also be a problem. Maybe the problem is that "-A" is
trying to do too much.
