Community technical support mailing list was retired 2010 and replaced with a professional technical support team. For assistance please contact: Pre-sales Technical support via email to sales@march-hare.com.


Or you can use another approach:

1. create an alias branch of the branch you want to rename:

	cvs tag -A -b -r old_branch_name new_branch_name [your files]

2. remove the old branch name:

	cvs tag -d -B old_branch_name [your files]

Both operations will work with rtag too.

Hope it helps.
