See the manual or cvs help for 'rtag' ('tag' will generally do, too,
but you'd better rtag).

Actually it's just "cvs rtag -d -B branch_name module_name" from
inside a sandbox or use the -d global option, but reading the manual
is never bad ;-)

Be aware that this will just remove any references for the symbolic
name, any commits that were made to this branch will remain in files'
histories and thus will be orphan.
I don't know whether the 'cvs admin -o' command can handle branches,
but anyway this is way more unadvisable yet than running 'rtag -d'...

Cheers,
Flávio
