[drupal-devel] Okay, I think I borked my CVS...what do I do now?

That's correct. I mistakenly thought that removing the files would allow me
to start over with the tagging process; I didn't realize the tag would persist
even when the files were gone. :-(

Yes, that is correct.

I tried this, but CVS gives the following messages:

(from inside the "hof" directory...)

$ cvs tag -d DRUPAL-4-6
cvs tag: warning: directory CVS specified in argument
cvs tag: but CVS uses CVS for its own purposes; skipping CVS directory
cvs tag: Untagging .
cvs tag: Not removing branch tag `DRUPAL-4-6' from `/cvs/drupal-contrib/contributions/modules/hof/CHANGELOG.txt,v'.
cvs tag: Not removing branch tag `DRUPAL-4-6' from `/cvs/drupal-contrib/contributions/modules/hof/INSTALL.txt,v'.
cvs tag: Not removing branch tag `DRUPAL-4-6' from `/cvs/drupal-contrib/contributions/modules/hof/README.txt,v'.
cvs tag: Not removing branch tag `DRUPAL-4-6' from `/cvs/drupal-contrib/contributions/modules/hof/TODO.txt,v'.
cvs tag: Not removing branch tag `DRUPAL-4-6' from `/cvs/drupal-contrib/contributions/modules/hof/hof.module,v'.

Any other ideas? I'm thinking the only way to get rid of this problem may be
for someone with appropriate access to physically nuke this directory from
the repository.

Again, my apologies for screwing this up.
