You could probably do this using CVSFile
(http://people.freebsd.org/~eivind/CVSFile-0.2.tar.gz) and a small perl
script.  This would, of course, invalidate any workspaces (checked out
copies of the source) presently active.

Note that I have not tested CVSFile with repositories that contain 2.x
versions, and there may be bugs in CVSFile related to using such
repositories - though as long as you don't directly overwrite your original
repository, there should be no chance of data corruption.

CVSFile lacks documentation - sorry about that.
