Yes, these are non-branch tags I'm referring to. There are 2 reasons why I want to cleanup these tags:
1. When I run 'cvs log' command on any file, these unwanted tags show up and cause confusion in identifying the tags which I looking for. 2. The number of tags that get created each week is high. For branch tag deletion, I think the command is cvs tag -d -b <branch-name> In this case, for the branch tag deletion, would the branch code be lost? But I suppose that should be ok as long as the code is present in the trunk. On 7/12/07, Spiro Trikaliotis <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

If these are really tags, not branch-tags, then no code is lost. Note that "newer" CVS version would not let you delete branch tags with this command. But the big question is: Why do you want to get rid of the tags? Tags are rather cheap, and I hardly recognize a reason to delete them. Just let them there, this is the best possibility not to break anything. Best regards, Spiro. -- Spiro R. Trikaliotis http://opencbm.sf.net/ http://www.trikaliotis.net/ http://www.viceteam.org/
