It is very frustrating when someone accidentally creates a branch using the wrong name to them be 
'stuck' with the branch - it would be better if the branch or tag was not created in the first place.

Tagrules could be a new file in CVSROOT for setting the branch tag, and non-branch tag rules, eg:
P_PROD b
P_STG b
P_DEV b
T_.* t
T_.* t


The 'tagrules' should only be read for a 'tag' or 'rtag' operation, under no other circumstances should 
this file be read, and the rules should be checked once 'early' in the process.
