Presumably because of a bug in cvs, "cvs up -A -C" will fail on a file 
that has to be both updated and reverted.

cvs [server aborted]: cannot open nl.po for copying: No such file or 
directory

doing a "cvs up -A" first will avoid this.  (In this case there are no 
sticky tags so the -A is not necessary in either case.)
