------------------ Additional Follow-up Comments ----------------------------
I downloaded the nightly tarball 
(http://savannah.gnu.org/cvs.backups/alcovebook.tar.gz), re-added the 
MERGE-POINT_1-0_2 tag manually (cvs rtag -r BRANCH_1-0 MERGE-POINT_1-0_2 
sgml2x) and requested the merge with the same command using CVSROOT on local 
filesystem, and it went OK, as I had expected.

Then I set CVSROOT to access to the same repository using ssh, and got the 
exact same behaviour.  Reproduced with all 4 combinations of 
(client,server)*(1.10.7,1.11p1).

Looks like a nasty CVS bug...

Summary:  Cannot merge branches

Original Submission:  I want to merge a branch into trunk for sgml2x module in 
alcovebook, but CVS appears to have problems on server side.  Looks like it 
extracts a version of Makefile to temporary storage, and is not able to access 
it.  Would you by (mal)chance be using reiserfs on the CVS server ?

$ cvs -tn upd -dP -j MERGE-POINT_1-0_2
 -> main loop with address@hidden:/cvsroot/alcovebook
 -> Starting server: ssh subversions.gnu.org -l ydirson cvs server 
? tmp
S-> unlink_file(CVS/Entries.Static)
S-> unlink_file(./CVS/Entries.Static)
cvs server: Updating .
S-> join_file(.cvsignore, 1.2, MERGE-POINT_1-0_2, )
RCS file: /cvsroot/alcovebook/sgml2x/Makefile,v
retrieving revision 1.14
S-> join_file(Makefile, 1.14, MERGE-POINT_1-0_2, )
