cvs update -A doesn't work . . . ?

[Christopher Currie]

Dear all,

  I'm trying to commit a file that has a sticky tag:

    cvs server: sticky tag `1.8' for file `shopnav.ascx' is not a branch
    cvs [server aborted]: correct above errors first!

From all the documentaton I have, I read that the way to clear the sticky tag was to do a:

 cvs update -A

but this doesn't do a thing.

The other thing to try is to convert the tag into a branch, but I don't really want/need a new branch.

Any advice/help would be great. Thanks.
