If you want to give a _branch_ a new name, you will need to use the
command "cvs admin" using the following procedure:
Checkout the affected files using the existing branch name.
Use the command
cvs admin -nNEW_BRANCH_TAG:OLD_BRANCH_TAG
to give the branch the second name "NEW_BRANCH_TAG". It won't work if
the tag NEW_BRANCH_TAG has already
been used. If it is already in use, then you will need to use
cvs admin -NNEW_BRANCH_TAG:OLD_BRANCH_TAG
Now you can check out the branch using OLD_BRANCH_TAG or NEW_BRANCH_TAG.
If you wish to, you may now remove the OLD_BRANCH_TAG.
