I'm not jdp though, so I may be wrong :) In that case it probably isn't a good idea, especially since it'll surely thrash the hell out of the system while its putting tags in for changes that'll be wiped on the next cvsup. I think my next step is to cvsup the bloody repository, take a guess at a timestamp, and iterate through 'cvs diff' until nothing comes out. Unless someone has a better idea.... maybe ident through my current source tree to find the latest date/time?
