RE: loosing branch when updating to a tag on the branch

[Yamuna Ramasubramaniyan]

How about using the cvs_acls script?  This is very effective for me (Thanks
a lot to the person who wrote it) in controlling access.  I believe this is
in the contrib section.

It defeats version control, but can't you remove all versions on the branch
and then remove the branch tag itself? That is of course only if the branch
was just for some work and the work is now in the trunk.
