Oops! hit send a bit too quickly last time. tag=. tells it to use the
most recent versions of each file, sort of equivalent to -CURRENT.

Quite possibly. From section 18.3 of the handbook:
"Warning: Be very careful to specify any tag= fields correctly.
Some tags are valid only for certain collections of files. If
you specify an incorrect or misspelled tag, CVSup will delete
files which you probably do not want deleted. In particular, use
only tag=. for the ports-* collections."
