Probably becase you tried the STABLE or RELEASE tags and those
options are sticky, as Jerry mentioned.  Jerry wrote:

So if you had issued that command against your original directory
you probably would have been able to then issue the "cvs update"
command and gotten the latest CVS HEAD sources.  Perhaps you still
have that directory around and can try it.
