Sure, the circumstands are somewhat more complex:
The involved file is not on the branch, so I used -f to get it.
The file was not patcheable, so it has to be refetched.
But the cvs client uses the branch tag to refetch the file, which may
be incorrect.
Ok - the client may not be able to determine wether the file is on the
requested branch or not. Thats why I put the '??' in the subject.

Eventually Tony can clarify this??
