Can you work with a local copy of the modules and sync it up afterwards?
Wait. What is the motivation for this change?
I used cvs tag to move a branch, which did not do what intuition suggested it would.
Shorter version numbers?
More accurate metadata is the reason I ok'd Max's suggestion. Version number, phwa.
How did we get in this state? Why not just check out a fresh version of setup, create a branch, and then check in the contents of the current branch? Or check out a version based on a given date and then create the branch.
Because of CVS limitations, this won't rectify the problem. There is a branch in setup, which has no name, but is the original setup-200303 branch. AFAIK one cannot retrieve that branch at all now, unless Max does his magic.
