Well, it did not work.
% cvs up -r v3_0_6
cvs update: Updating .
%
That is, no files are updated.  Then I took a look at CVS/Entries
% cat CVS/Entries
D
That is, it has only one letter D there.
So, I checked out v3_0_5 and moved the CVS directory from the v3_0_5 working 
directory to my 3.0.6 working directory.  Then I did a commit.  Well, it did 
not work:
%cvs commit -m "updated for version 3.0.6" ChangeLog
cvs commit: sticky tag `v3_0_5' for file `ChangeLog' is not a branch
cvs [commit aborted]: correct above errors first!
The reason appears to be that the sticky tag of the files is now v3_0_5 not 
VERSION3 :
% cvs status -v | more
cvs status: Examining .
