cvs update -C croaks

[Stephen Rasku]

I am trying to update my tree to a branch and discard all the current 
changes.  The command I am using to do this, is:

        cvs update -C -r branch-name
        
However, I am getting errors like this:

cvs server: conflict: common/msg/test/xdr_server.c has been added, but 
already exists
C common/msg/test/xdr_server.c

for multiple files.  Finally, I get a fatal error:

cvs server: Updating common/tiffsup/src
cvs [server aborted]: cannot open tiff.c for copying: No such file or 
directory

Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug?  I am using cvs 1.10.8.
