Sheldon, Is your question: How can I retag the module? i.e. How can I move the tag from an older version to a more current one? If so, then you need to delete the tag first then tag it. cvs tag -d DRUPAL-4-5 file(s) [Note the -d here] cvs tag DRUPAL-4-5 file(s) Note that this has a side effect: people who downloaded and used the old module will say they have the 4.5.0 version of the module, and then people who will download the module tomorrow will say that they have the same version. This can lead to support nightmares, since two different pieces of code are tagged the same. However, this seems to be common practice in contrib. I have discussed this on the list in the past, and it was suggested that a date be included in the tar ball name, but no action was taken on that.

OK, I've been trying to use CVS directly, but I've hit a snag. I'm trying to following the instructions for promoting the HEAD of my interwiki module to be the official release for Drupal 4.5. I'm following the instructions at: http://drupal.org/node/17570

However, I get the following result when I enter "cvs tag -F DRUPAL-4-5":

...

cvs tag: Tagging . cvs tag: CREDITS.txt: Not moving branch tag `DRUPAL-4-5' from 1.1.2.2 to 1.2. cvs tag: INSTALL.txt: Not moving branch tag `DRUPAL-4-5' from 1.2.2.2 to 1.3. cvs tag: README.txt: Not moving branch tag `DRUPAL-4-5' from 1.2.2.2 to 1.4. cvs tag: interwiki.module: Not moving branch tag `DRUPAL-4-5' from 1.1.2.2 to 1.10. cvs tag: interwiki.sql: Not moving branch tag `DRUPAL-4-5' from 1.1.2.3 to 1.11.

Can someone explain what I need to do?
