"-A -rnetbsd-1-4" clears all the old sticky tags and makes
"netbsd-1-4" sticky. Same for "-rnetbsd-1-4", except that won't clear
sticky -k flags that were mistakenly left on checked in files, even if
they're later cleared in the repository. It's my policy to always
specify the tag explicitly, anyway, 'cause why take chances?

The fact that a root specified with "-d" doesn't propagate to the
CVS/Root files (on "cvs update") is a bug, IMO. Does anyone know why
you *wouldn't* want that.
