I think the way to do this is:
cvs tag -r branch-name tmp-name
cvs tag -r tmp-name new-branch-name
cvs tag -d branch-name
cvs tag -d tmp-name
It may be wise to use something like "branch-BASE" as your tmp-name and not to
delete it (since you may need it in the future when doing merges).
If you manually edit the files without creating CVS locks in the repo
directories, you chance losing others' commits during your editing.

Subject: Renaming branch?
Hello,
In CVC documentation I found out, that it is possible to rename tags.
But I would like to rename branch.
Is it possible at all? And if it is possible, how to do it?
One possible solution could be to search for branch name in whole
repository and then change branch name in every file where it is
mentioned. Is this possible to do without damaging the repository?
Best regards,
Alain
