   Well, then the behavior isn't consistent. Instead of doing the update,
instead do the following:

vi pstat.c
(and make some stupid but identifiable change)
cvs diff -c -rHEAD pstat.c

   The differences you see will be relative to the head of the RELENG_2_1_0
branch, NOT the head of the "main" branch.
