Uhm, maybe I should rethink the stuff, because I'm missing the
point... or does Thomas mean that tailor should reset with -A before
update and set again afterward?

IMHO, a person who is going to maintain a two-way sync should be
expert enough to *know* that that repos must manipulated *only* by
tailor... and from this point of view, I'd be inclined to offer an
option to not force sticky tag. 

Nathan, is this blocking for you? I'm short of time, and (luckily) CVS
pressure is (slowly) fading away, so I won't be working on this very
soon... 

bye, lele.
