Re: [platform-cvs-dev] Checking out files not intended for a project

[Thomas Hallgren <thomas@xxxxxxx>]

I've encountered yet another problem with my sandbox approach. The same 
files for which I needed a special workaround in order to get correct 
timestamps are also annotated with a sticky tag. In the explorer, the 
file typically show up like this:

plugin.xml 1.56 1.56 (ASCII -kkv)

i.e. the version is repeated twice. I've tried using both null and 
CVSTag.DEFAULT when I create the sandbox but I get the same result.

What could be the cause of this problem and how can I get rid of this 
sticky tag?

Kind Regards,
Thomas Hallgren
