Using "cvs update" would get the most recent version of the file, 
assuming there are no sticky tags on the file.  Using "cvs update -dPA" 
would reset any stick tags, get new directories, and prune empty ones.

If you're trying to move a tag that's existing, the "cvs tag -F" command 
will work.  I don't believe that works against a branch tag though--a 
different override command is needed.

It's difficult to understand what you're trying to attempt.  Maybe if 
you included a (concise) script of your actions it would help.  Also, 
you might send the note in your native language--there are a lot of 
people on this list, some are likely to understand.
