Strange symptom with cvs status when merge between branches

[Matthew Berney]

We are using a CVS pserver model with Linix Server and NT clients.  We are
running CVS v1.10.8.  

We have three branches in the repository:  IP2, IP3, R2_0

When we merge files between IP2 and IP3, then do a cvs status on R2_0, then
some of the files show up as "Needs Patch".  I am confused.  Why is the R2_0
branch effected by the merge operation when it wasn't even participating in
the merge?

Please reply via email since I am not on the discussion group.

Thanks,
