The only things CVS records on its own are:
- The history information in CVSROOT/history. But that's
essentially an audit trail; nothing in CVS uses it except the
"cvs history" command, so leaving it there won't confuse CVS.
It might confuse people though :-)
- Tag names in CVSROOT/val-tags. It's just a list of tag names
that are known to exist somewhere in the repo. If the module
you're deleting has tags that appear nowhere else, I suppose
that to be strictly accurate you should edit them out of
val-tags. But again, I don't think it hurts to leave them
there.
(Have I forgotten any?)
If you do feel like cleaning up either of these, it shouldn't be
too hard, but beware of the race condition (you vs. other users
invoking CVS). In both cases, it's probably not worth the
bother.
If you made changes yourself, e.g. to CVSROOT/modules or *info,
of course you have to revert them.
