I dont think you can rename tags using a single command. What you can do instead is create a new tag at the same point as the old tag, and then delete the old tag. eg - cvs rtag -r old-foo-1-2-3 new-foo-1-2-3 <module_name> cvs rtag -d old-foo-1-2-3 <module_name> Amol _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
