Ok, I give in.  What's happened so far:

I did a cvs import on top of the existing version of netcat (duh).
This created two tags for version 1.1.1 of everything (new: BRIAN,
orig: HOBBIT) and also a version 1.1.1.2 of everything.  1.1.1.1
has a tag of nc_1_10 and 1.1.1.2 has a tag of nc110.

(files/md5 is an exception, the sums were the same so there
was no 1.1.1.2)

I then did a "cvs co -r BRIAN netcat" and did a "cvs rm -f" of
everything - blindly believing that this would result in the
"removal" of my import.

The result is, that a "cvs co netcat" comes up with no files.
There's just a 1.1.1.3 of everything (1.1.1.2 for md5) with
a status of dead.

I then (ok, too late) decided to play at home and mucked around
a bit, but I can't do *anything*.  I can "cvs rtag -d nc110",
but HEAD is still at 1.1.1.3.  "cvs rtag -r 1.1.1.1 HEAD netcat"
tells me to forget it and if I do a "cvs co netcat", dump the
1.1.1.1 files in their right place and "cvs commit", nothing
happens.  With a "cvs add ..." for each file before the commit,
it tells me at commit time that you can't add what's already
there.  If I try to "cvs co -r nc_1_10" and then "cvs commit
-r HEAD", I get a load of messages (1 per file) saying
"Up-to-date check failed for `....'".

I even, in desperation, played with CVS/* in the checked-out
version - no joy.

Please, someone show me the light !
