Did you really wait until it finished, or did you get impatient and
kill it? The first time you check out using a new tag, it goes
searching through every file looking for the tag to make sure it's
valid. Then it adds the tag to ${CVSROOT}/CVSROOT/val-tags and works
quickly thereafter.
I don't know why it doesn't find the tag sooner than it does. I have
a suspicion that it's searching the whole repository including the
ports tree, which does not contain that tag.
