It works! The command will change the symbols-entry in the *,v-File
for the branch-symbol from "<branchname>:1.1.0.2;" to
"<branchname>:1;". CVS thinks, there still is a branch-specific
version, but it is actually a pointer to the current version of the
main branch.
I found another, even dirtier way to deal with my problem: When I
remove the "<branchname>:1.1.0.2;"-entry completely from the symbols-
section, CVS forgets that there is a branch-specific version, and I
will again get the head version when using the -f - option on checkout.
With both tricks, history remains intact, especially all tags still
point to correct versions.
Thanks for your help!
