[ILUG] cvs merge question...

[ILUG] cvs merge question...

Hey all,
	I'm hoping someone here can point out where i'm going wrong. I have
a cvs tree, with a main branch (blah), and a sub-branch (blah_test). I
want to merge the changes made in the sub-branch back into the main
branch. I'm doing as follows:

	cvs co -r blah module
	cd module
	cvs update -dPj blah-test

CVS then tells me that it's merging the differences between the 2
branches into my local working directory. However, when i choose a file
that i know had a line removed in the -test branch, i see that the line
is still there. Doing a cvs diff shows that the file hasn't changed at
all, despite cvs claiming it merged the differences. Can anyone tell me
what i'm doing wrong?

Steve
