Tags are assigned individually to each file; there are some tags that
only exist in parts of the tree.  You'll see lots of these tags in the
/src/contrib tree, for example, as different external releases get
merged in.

If you simply want to see what global tags are available, running 
"cvs status -v Makefile" in /usr/src will work.  It's important to pick
a file that has existed since the tree was created, since any tags laid
down before the file was created won't show up (get status on
Makefile.inc1 as a comparison).
