RE: Checkout's over checkouts.

[Euan Guttridge]

Of course, excellent solution - and simple.
Just needed to add the '-F' to apply the consolidated tag to subsequent
tagged versions. 

cvs rtag -rbranchname consolidated-tag module
cvs rtag -F -rtag1 consolidated-tag module
cvs rtag -F -rtag2 consolidated-tag module
cvs co -j HEAD -j consolidated-tag module
[sanity check]
cvs commit -m 'blah' module


Thanks..
Euan

Oh, right, missed that. You still don't need the extra tags and branches
though:

cvs rtag -rtag1 consolidated-tag module
cvs rtag -rtag2 consolidated-tag module
(etc.)

cvs update -A
cvs up -jconsolidated-tag -jHEAD
