Hmm. I'll checkout a known label and check:

diamond at inlinux:~/work2/shannon/scu/isup(0)> cvs update -r s16xv_gen_gateway_isuph_1-1 ISUPH.EXE
diamond at inlinux:~/work2/shannon/scu/isup(0)> cvs status ISUPH.EXE
===================================================================
File: ISUPH.EXE         Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:    1.26.4.3
   Repository revision: 1.26.4.3        /opt/cvsroot/shannon/scu/isup/ISUPH.EXE,v
   Sticky Tag:          s16xv_gen_gateway_isuph_1-1 (revision: 1.26.4.3)
   Sticky Date:         (none)                       ^^^^^^^^
   Sticky Options:      -kb                          ^^^^^^^^

Note that it says 'revision' instead of 'branch'. If i do 'cvs status -v
ISUPH.EXE' it prints out all tags (labels & branches) for that file. The
lines for s16xv_gen_gateway_isuph_1-1 and linx_gateway are:

	linux_gateway                   (branch: 1.26.4)
	s16xv_gen_gateway_isuph_1-1     (revision: 1.26.4.3)

So, unless i'm missing something, it's definetely a branch. I'm kinda
hesitant to make another branch and add the file to that because this is
a production cvs repository, and cluttering it up with unwanted branches
is frowned upon.
