If you want to discard the existing grass_6_2_2 tag and tag the
current version:

	cvs rtag -d grass_6_2_2 grass6
	cvs tag -c release_20070702_grass_6_2_2

If you just want to rename the existing tag, ignoring any updates on
the branch:

	cvs rtag -r grass_6_2_2 release_20070702_grass_6_2_2 grass6
	cvs rtag -d grass_6_2_2 grass6
