[ILUG] CVS Woes...

[Stephen Shirley]

Mornin' all,
	Right, i'm in a bit of a pickle here. I need to add a file to cvs
to make a release, but the dang thing won't add:

I check out the branch 'linux_gateway':
diamond at inlinux:~/work2(0)> cvs co -r linux_gateway shannon/scu/isup

Copy in my file 'MPR.SBA', and try add it:
diamond at inlinux:~/work2/shannon/scu/isup(0)> cvs add MPR.SBA
cvs server: cannot add file on non-branch tag linux_gateway

Scratch head. Do cvs status on another file in the directory just to
double check that 'linux_gateway' _is_ a branch tag:
diamond at inlinux:~/work2/shannon/scu/isup(0)> cvs status ISUPH.EXE
===================================================================
File: ISUPH.EXE         Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:    1.26.4.7
   Repository revision: 1.26.4.7        /opt/cvsroot/shannon/scu/isup/ISUPH.EXE,v
   Sticky Tag:          linux_gateway (branch: 1.26.4)
   Sticky Date:         (none)
   Sticky Options:      -kb

Hmm. 'linux_gateway' is definetely a branch tag. Eh?

Can anyone shine any light on this? Google showed up nothing, neither 
did the cvs manual.

Steve
