Cannot commit: cvs commit: sticky tag `HEAD' for file `lisp/doc-view.el' is not a branch

Hi all!

When trying to commit my changes to doc-view with PCL-CVS I get this
error in the *cvs* buffer.

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
Repository : :ext:tsdh@cvs.savannah.gnu.org:/sources/emacs
Module     : emacs
Working dir: ~/repos/emacs/



In directory .:
In directory lisp:
Message: cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!
              Modified                lisp/ChangeLog
              Modified                lisp/doc-view.el
Message: cvs commit: sticky tag `HEAD' for file `lisp/doc-view.el' is not a branch
              Modified                lisp/image-mode.el
              Modified                lisp/info.el

--------------------- End ---------------------
-- last cmd: cvs -f commit -m <log message> lisp/doc-view.el --
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

I don't know a lot about cvs tags, so what do I have to do now?

Bye,
Tassilo

You must have done "cvs up -rHEAD doc-view.el" at some time, use "cvs up
-A" to reset.

Thanks a lot, that fixed it.
