no, not "not".  "cvsup will not touch files that it believes are in
sync", the operative word here being "believes" - with -s cvsup will
use the checkout list and won't even look at the actual file unless
the server says it has a newer version than what is listed in the
checkout list.

You actually *want* the -s induced failure in this case.
