Re: Problem with partially lost branch information

[Donald Sharp]

I would suggest that the forv_ver1_02XXXXX branch tag 
doesn't exist in the first two directories.  Since it
looks like you know the date when the tag was applied
you can pull a workspace with the cvs co -D <date> command
for those two directories and then apply the branch tag.

Then you should be able to update the original workspace...
