[cvsnt] $Name$ keyword suddenly failing to resolve

[Williams, Tim]

No, it is sticky.  The most recent revision in the repository is
something like 1.4. If I try to commit the file I checked out using
"Release1" tag, I get the message that it can not -  because the file is
sticky. 

I have also tested this with branches. Neither a branch name, nor a tag
name will resolve in the $Name$ keyword when checking out using those
names.

HTH!   This is very perplexing!

$Name$ -- Name of the sticky tag

Your file is not on a branch or otherwise sticky.
