See above.  But it didn't really go away.  It's only attached to your working
files.

See above.  I *think* you can actually do an 'update -A' after your merge to
get rid of all sticky tags and then do a fresh checkin.  Assuming you're on
the trunk.  Not sure what the trick is on a branch.  Not sure any of this
will work at all.  Be very careful.  Backup everything before trying.  Don't
blame me for lost data.
