This is a result of some funny repository fiddling, which somehow got 
both 'ZEO' and 'BDBStorage' onto the 'Zope-2_6-branch'.  I would like to 
remove the branch tag altogether, as neither module is part of the 2.6 
release.  Here is what I would propose doing::

   $ ssh cvs.zope.org
   $ cd /cvs-repository
   $ tar czf /tmp/Zope-just_in_case.tar.gz Zope
   $ ^D
   $ cvs -d :ext:cvs.zope.org:/cvs-repository \
     rtag -dB Zope-2_6-branch Zope/lib/python/ZEO
   $ cvs -d :ext:cvs.zope.org:/cvs-repository \
     rtag -dB Zope-2_6-branch Zope/lib/python/BDBStorage

Anybody know a reason why we shouldn't do this?  The CVS docs seem to 
consider deleting branch tags a Bad Thing (TM), but I have never seen 
any rationale for it.
