As far as I understand, the "default branch" feature is not meant to be a general way of choosing which branch should be checked out by default. I believe it is meant for a very particular and purpose related to vendor branches. And using "cvs admin -b" even in the case of vendor branches is also a questionable practice. Consider merging the changes from NEW_BRANCH back to the main line of development instead of trying to change the default branch. Michael
