I am using WinCVS. The archive was originally created with CVS on Cygwin,
but,

I went into the preferences of WinCVS and change E:\CVSROOT to E:/CVSROOT,
which made it change backslashes to slashes, but when I ran the rtag command
again, the output looked exactly the same as before.
Would it be safe to just delete the Attic directory?
