Or restore the repo to a temporary location; use "cvs log" or
"cvs status -v" on that to find out, for each file, the "magic"
revision number that was associated with the branch tag; massage
the output from the above into a humongous shell script full of
"cvs admin -n" commands; and let that rip (after making another
backup of the live repo, of course!).
