It works! The command will change the symbols-entry in the *,v-File for the branch-symbol from "<branchname>:1.1.0.2;" to "<branchname>:1;". CVS thinks, there still is a branch-specific version, but it is actually a pointer to the current version of the main branch. I found another, even dirtier way to deal with my problem: When I remove the "<branchname>:1.1.0.2;"-entry completely from the symbols- section, CVS forgets that there is a branch-specific version, and I will again get the head version when using the -f - option on checkout. With both tricks, history remains intact, especially all tags still point to correct versions. Thanks for your help!
