[The following paragraph was sent yesterday mistakenly just to Luc,
sorry!]

I have never done anything with my Emacs CVS sources other than `cvs
up' and `cvs up -d' (*not* -D).  My last update before today was
October 20, and that was unproblematic.  I think I'll wait till
tomorrow, update again, and if that doesn't work, I guess I'll just
check out the whole CVS tree from scratch.  Unless anyone has another
idea...

[Now:]

Well I tried `cvs up -d' again this morning, but to no avail.  Then as
a last attempt before resorting to a pristine full check out I did
`cvs up -PACd' -- and that worked.  I would be surprised if there
really was a sticky tag, since I certainly reverted no files since
October 20.  I think I did have one or two locally modified files, so
maybe the -C did the trick, though I don't remember modifying anything
between October 20 and yesterday...
