This is one case where it is safe to delete the branch. > I believe the command to be: > cvs tag -d -B BRANCHNAME > > What I get in return is: > cvs tag: in directory .: > cvs [tag aborted]: there is no version here; run 'cvs checkout' first > > I'm a little confused, do I need to checkout the branch first, so I can then > remove it? No, you don't need to check out the branch first (in fact, it's better if you don't, otherwise you might confuse CVS a little). You must, however, run it from within a working directory that has the project checked out. Or, you can use the 'rtag' command instead of 'tag', in which case you don't need a working directory at all. - -- Jim Hyslop Dreampossible: Better software.
