you may be using CVSNT for all your work and may need to ask on one of their
mailing lists
http://www.cvsnt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/cvsnt
or
news://news.cvsnt.org/support.cvsnt
or
http://www.cvsnt.org/wiki/
however from a pure CVS perspective it looks like you have some sticky
option that is not one I recognize.
perhaps the following is relevant:
http://www.cvsnt.org/pipermail/cvsnt/2004-November/016047.html
maybe someone tried running `cvs admin -kt Aston.Outputs.csproj` and it got
sticky.
Is this happening for all users, one user, fresh checkout (i.e. start in an
empty directory, like /tmp/, not a checkout on top of an existing
checkout)???
