Description seancwall 2006-02-02 15:28:45 UTC 
There doesn't appear to be any way to delete a branch on a file.  Ideally, this
feature should delete the selected branch and automatically roll back the file
to the trunk revision (or other selected revision).

"WARNING: the commands in this section are dangerous; they permanently discard
historical information and it can be difficult or impossible to recover from
errors. If you are a CVS administrator, you may consider restricting these
commands with the `taginfo' file"

"WARNING: Moving branch tags is very dangerous! If you think you need the -B
option, think again and ask your CVS administrator about it (if that isn't you).
There is almost certainly another way to accomplish what you want to accomplish."
