See above. But it didn't really go away. It's only attached to your working
files.

See above. I *think* you can actually do an 'update -A' after your merge to
get rid of all sticky tags and then do a fresh checkin. Assuming you're on
the trunk. Not sure what the trick is on a branch. Not sure any of this
will work at all. Be very careful. Backup everything before trying. Don't
blame me for lost data.
