I asked my sys admin to retrieve a backup copy of my doc directory and I do
a cvs status under both my current working directory and the backup
directory for the "Changelog" file.
% cvs status -v ~/VERSION3/doc/ChangeLog
=========================================================
File: ChangeLog Status: Locally Modified

Repository revision: 1.1.2.2
/home/messengr/cvs/messengers/doc/Attic/ChangeLog,v
Sticky Tag: VERSION3 (branch: 1.1.2)
Sticky Date: (none)
Sticky Options: (none)

v3_0_5 (revision: 1.1.2.2)
v3_0_4 (revision: 1.1.2.1)
VERSION3 (branch: 1.1.2)
As you can see, both are the same except one has VERSION3 (a branch tag) as
its sticky tag and one has v3_0_5, a non-branch tag ?, as its sticky tag.
What could I have done between 1:41 and 5:05 on Jan 14 to cause the change
of the sticky tag? And apparently when I tagged the file with v3_0_4, the
sticky tag was not changed to v3_0_4; it remained at VERSION3.
By the way, the CVS/Tag file in the current working directory has Nv3_0_5
whereas the one in the RESTORED (the backup) directory has TVERSION3.
Really really appreciated your help.
