Re: Anyway to builk delete tags

[Donald Sharp]

I generally hack together a quick and dirty shell script that
does this.  Take your list and make sure that they are in a 
file one per line.  Load it up in vi( or your editor of choice )
and search and replace 1,$s/^/cvs rtag -d /.  Run by /bin/sh <filename>
