(Tested on -stable, > didn't try -current) This is a well known bug/feature of CVS. See the LONG "Unmoronify CVS" thread on -arch from this month, http://docs.freebsd.org/mail/archive/2002/freebsd-arch/20020317.freebsd-arch.html For why there is no really good solution to this issue. There are some workarounds explained in the thread. The easiest is to add known tags into the val-tags file manually. -- Crist J.
