Yes, with a couple of minor amendments: before using 'cvs remove' delete 
all branch tags from the original location, and make sure you only 
delete non-branch tags from the new location.

That makes it easier, then - just omit the steps about tags. On a 
tangental note - do learn about tags and branching. They can save you a 
lot of effort.
