I don't know the -A flag to tag (could it be a cvsnt-ism?), so maybe this is doing the right thing, but otherwise I think there's no clean way to rename a branch in CVS. The best I've found so far is: cvs admin -N : cvs admin -n the first may be equivalent to cvs admin -n : and the second may be equivalent to cvs tag -B -d I've just tried it on emacs/admin/notes/toto and it seems to work.
