sticky date on a branch

[Veda Larson Palmer]

Hi bug-cvs folks,

I'm trying to checkout files with a sticky date on a branch, but the
sticky date is not being set.  If I run:

cvs co -r myBranchTag -D myDate myFile

then run cvs status on the file, it says "Status: Needs Patch" and
"Sticky Date: (none)" (although the sticky tag is correctly set to the
branch tag).

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?

Thanks,
-Veda
