Updates merge changes from other workspaces automatically.  If the same
area of a file has changed in another commit, then you will get
"conflict markers" as you are showoing.  It looks like you perhaps
commited the changes from one workspace then updated in a workspace that
already contained the changes?

You might try reading the section of the CVS manual on updates and the
following section on conflicts:
http://cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_10.html#SEC85 .

Incidentally, update doesn't accept a '-m' option.
