Actually - I think you may have committed at the wrong level:

C:\cvs\test\sub5>cvs rename file3.txt file3_renamed.txt
cvs rename: Warning: rename is still experimental and may not behave as
you would expect 

C:\cvs\test\sub5>notepad file3_renamed.txt

C:\cvs\test\sub5>cvs commit -m "modified and renamed file3.txt to
file3_renamed.txt"


This should have been:

C:\cvs\test\sub5>cd ..

C:\cvs\test>cvs commit -m "modified and renamed file3.txt to
file3_renamed.txt" sub5

Can you please try that and confirm the expected results are achieve
with cvs up -r branch1 then?

Regards,


Arthur Barrett
