Well I'm still interested in a reply to this if I need to do this: How can I rename HOLIDAY branch to PROD branch, at the same time deleting branch HOLIDAY? (rename a branch, not a module and I don't want to use cvs rtag -b -r HOLIDAY PROD <modulename>, in which HOLIDAY stays around) Thanks. -----Original Message----- From: Jerry Nairn [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 1:28 PM To: 'Arcin Bozkurt - Archie'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: manual modifications to the repository > From: Arcin Bozkurt - Archie [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] > Sent: Wednesday, December 05, 2001 11:10 AM > Are the modifications that I am planning to make dangerous? > 1.

Depending on why you're doing this, you may want to then delete the old tags from this new location using cvs rtag -d <old_tag_name> OtherModule/SubDir/a > 2.

Remove some directories, that were created by mistake. That's probably okay, if no one is using these accidental directories. The problems that would be created, if any, would be for checked out copies of these directories.
