You wanted to replace the branch with the trunk. The commands would then be:
cvs update -rbranch-tag cvs update -jHEAD -jbranch-tag cvs commit On the other hand, it would probably just be easier to abandon 'branch-tag' and create a new tag: cvs rtag -b branch2 -- Jim Hyslop Senior Software Designer Leitch Technology International Inc.
