Hi Matt,

    cvs doesn't allow you to commit into tag or specific revision. You 
can commit only into branch or trunk (the main branch). You will have to 
merge your local changes with some branch by "CVS | Switch to Branch" 
action on desired context.
    Please follow:

Regards,
-Peter

Hi all,<br>
  <br>
When doing the following:<br>
  <br>
- Tag items in the HEAD<br>
- Browse branch and checkout Tag<br>
- Code appears with the Tag label<br>
  <br>
Updating a file and committing, NetBeans throws:<br>
  <blockquote>"CVS Command failed with the following error:<br>
cvs commit: sticky tag `A' for file `somefile' is not a branch<br>
cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!" <br>
  </blockquote>
Is this a known issue, or something that should not be done?<br>
  <br>
Is it possible to add a new file with a Tag into CVS through NetBeans?<br>
  <br>
  <br>
I understand branches could be used, but would like to understand if
Tags are usable in this scenario.<br>
  <br>
Thanks in advance,<br>
