Description Ed Willink CLA 2011-03-12 15:55:59 EST 
Back in July I inadvertently created the R3_1_maintenance branch for

/cvsroot/modeling/org.eclipse.mdt/org.eclipse.ocl

I realised the mistake and then created R3_0_maintenance.

R3_1_maintenance should never have been used, but will be required after Indigo.

At that point I suspect that the erroneous creation date may cause problems.

Please delete R3_1_maintenance.

You should be able to do this with the following command:

cvs -d /cvsroot/modeling rtag -d R3_1_maintenance org.eclipse.mdt/org.eclipse.ocl

if you're logged in to dev.eclipse.org.

Finally plucked up courage to give this a try. I got warning messages about branch tags not being removed.

It's a branch tag so I think I need -B, but the manual says to think again and ask my administrator. Is it ok to go ahead with a -B too?

I presume the -B goes in as

cvs -d /cvsroot/modeling rtag -B -d R3_1_maintenance org.eclipse.mdt/org.eclipse.ocl

Well Google provided a site with the following example.

cvs rtag -d -B <tag/branch name> <module name>

Frankly working with tags in CVS has always been 'problematic' in my experience.  

I suggest you make a backup and then try this.  Worst case I can get it from tape.

Obsoleted by migration to GIT.
