WinCVS: How to remove sticky tag

I keep on running into this problem. Whenever you submit the file into CVS and force a revision value, it always enforce revision value through sticky tag. The problem with sticky tag is that, when you try to remove the file from CVS, you first need to remove the sticky tag.

How to do this is quite simple. In WinCVS, you first do update by "Update settings" where under tab "Update options" select "Reset and sticky tags/date/kopts". This will remove any existing sticky tags. Then you can "Modify" -> "Remove", then Commiting the file will remove the file from CVS.
