Move a branch tag. Which (and this bit possibly isn't intuitive) isn't a good thing to do. Latest CVS adds an extra option to tag, without which it will refuse to touch branch tags even with -F. > This should not have updated the cvs > repository.

It uses the working directory only to know which versions of which files to tag. Max.
