in all CVSNT versions I've ever used, yes you can remove the old branch after doing 'tag -A'. But you'd better use the 'rtag' command instead so that 'cvs removed' files in the repository don't keep the old branch tag and you don't need to mess with your sandbox. cvs rtag -A -r Old_Branch New_Branch Module (Now you could update your sandbox to the new branch to assure it's working= ) cvs rtag -d -B Old_Branch Module Best regards, Fl=E1vio On 3/19/07, Rick Martin <rsmandcam at _no_spam_sbcglobal.net> wrote: > On Fri, 16 Mar 2007 16:35:22 -0700, Rick Martin wrote: > > >> > >> Z:\>cvs -H tag > >> Usage: cvs tag [-bcdFflR] [-r rev|-D date] tag [files...] > >> -A Make alias of existing branch (requires -r). > >> ... > >> > >> Use the alias feature to name it like you wanted to. > >> > >> Then I *think* you might be able to delete the original tag ... not su= re > >> on that though, TEST FIRST!! > > > > Thanks, Glen. > > > > I didn't really understand what an Alias tag was.
