The commands/procedure is described on page 74 of the CVS userguide "Version
Management with CVS". This is part of the distribution.
I was just typing in the commands, but there are many, frequently less than
obvious details which result in changes to the command options. It is best if
you study it for yourself. Most of my toes have been "shot off" from wrestling
with cvs.
For the sake of providing some answer, the trick seems to be the old "cvs admin
-b{tag of your heart's desire}. The document is not specific about removing
versions. The closest referrence is on merging difference from several revisions
into a single one.
I have been searching for a comprehensive CVS cookbook with no luck so far.
