Oh, OK. > What isn't supported (but isn't specifically prevented) is removing the > last reference to a branch - you can end up with no reference to any of > the revisions in the branch, which causes problems. Yes, that makes sense for sure. > The Evs branching mechanisms are completely different (in fact in evs > you can't delete a branch in the way cvs does at all, merely mark it as > deleted at that point - a branch is a versioned object just like > everything else in evs). So deleting a branch tag (as long as at least one associated alias branch tag remains) in non-EVS CVSNT is OK? Assuming this is true, then re-using the old branch tag name (for any other tagging purpose, i.e., to create fixed tag or as another, different branch tag) is also OK, right?
