I think that it's not printed if file revision was not changed, but it 
would appear if the file revision has been changed (i.e. after a MFC). 
Still don't understand why it appear in -A case.  Running cvs up -A on 
the said file will always say 'U' which does not seems to be reasonable:

[delphij_at_charlie] /usr/src/contrib> cvs -qR up ipfilter/BSD/ipfadm-rcd
[delphij_at_charlie] /usr/src/contrib> cvs -qR up -A ipfilter/BSD/ipfadm-rcd
U ipfilter/BSD/ipfadm-rcd
[delphij_at_charlie] /usr/src/contrib> cvs -qR up -A ipfilter/BSD/ipfadm-rcd
U ipfilter/BSD/ipfadm-rcd
[delphij_at_charlie] /usr/src/contrib> cvs -qR status ipfilter/BSD/ipfadm-rcd
===================================================================
File: ipfadm-rcd       	Status: Up-to-date

    Working revision:	1.1.1.1	Tue Apr  1 02:53:58 2008
    Repository revision:	1.1.1.1 
/home/ncvs/src/contrib/ipfilter/BSD/ipfadm-rcd,v
    Sticky Tag:		(none)
    Sticky Date:		(none)
    Sticky Options:	-kk

Sound like that the vendor HEAD is not considered as HEAD when the 
revision is 1.1.1.1 and no actual HEAD?
