Normally you don't delete branches in CVS. You might be able to delete a
branch with command line cvs via deletion of ranges of versions by using
"cvs admin -o :<branch
tag>" and then do "cvs rtag -d <branch tag>".

BUT: before using this, first try it out in a toy repository. I'm not
sure whether this works as expected!
