Thanks Randy.

So how do I remove the sticky tag?

Vivian,

It means that at one time you checked out the
"ptp_2_1" version of the code, and every time
you do a commit it automatically resets the "ptp_2_1"
tag of every commit you do to the committed version.

So, let's say that file Foo.java was tagged with ptp_2_1
for version 1.3, when  you commit the change to
Foo.java, not only is the version changed to 1.4,
but the tag "ptp_2_1" is changed to point to version
1.4.

You usually don't want to do that.

Does that help?

Thanks for catching it Randy.

What do you mean by sticky tag?

I checked in some changes to HEAD last night and the feature version was set to 2.1.4...I'll fix that.

I just saw some commits to the repository
that had a sticky tag set to "ptp_2_1."

Is that what the committer, vkong, really wanted?
Usually tags like that need to stay on the specific
released version.  These are changes made to
HEAD and have the tag reset to the HEAD version.
