[cvsnt] change a tag into a branch

[Boyd Meier]

or, you can use
1) cvs rtag -b -r <tag> <branch> <module>
2) cvs co -r <branch>

If you want to make the branch have the same name, you have to do a rename
of the tag, followed by a delete of your base tag after you're done.  I
wouldn't recommend that, BTW.  I always find it useful to have a branchpoint
tag.  We do this all the time with releases and maintenance branches.

Well, what you do is this:
1. Update to the tag where you want the branch to start
2. Then create the branch here
3. Then update to the branch
Now you can start working on the branch.

Apparently you have already done step 1
