    Check out this page, which has a pretty easy to follow walk through of branching and merging in CVS

    http://kb.wisc.edu/middleware/page.php?id=4087

    It also includes an example of replacing HEAD with a specified branch

    Replacing One Branch With Another

    Tag the end of your branch

    cvs tag merge_NEW_BRANCH 

    Switch back to the branch you’re replacing

    To head:

    cvs up -A 

    To branch:

    cvs up -r OLD_BRANCH 

    Do the replace:

    Replace head

    cvs up -jHEAD -j NEW_BRANCH 

    Replace branch

    cvs up -jOLD_BRANCH -j NEW_BRANCH 

    Commit changes and tag if you need to.
