Imagine I change the file abc.cpp.

1. I commited it im main trank: cvs commit abc.cpp
2. I tag it with merged_to_RC_whatever tag (? this is not in a procedure
right now)
3. I merge it to the release branch

Additionally if I need to change it again, before step 2 Iwill nedd to
untag it: cvs tag -d merged_to_RC_whatever, which is also is not in release
procedure right now.

Did I get it correct?

Gennadiy.
