I believe the following should work with CVSNT the same way as it does
with CVS:

I assume the old tag is "TAG". You have to "invent" a new name for the
branch tag (in my example, "BRANCHTAG"). Then do the following:

$ cvs rtag -r TAG BRANCHTAG MODULE

with "MODULE" being the name of the module in which tag is present.
Alternatively, you can also use

$ cvs tag -r TAG BRANCHTAG

inside of the sandbox. Anyhow, personally, I prefer "rtag" as you
prevent the problem that might occur if you are missing some directories
in the sandbox (in which case, the BRANCHTAG will not be set).

HTH,
   Spiro.
