It is created by cvs and updated every time you use a tag with -r or
-j which isn't already listed in val-tags.  It's a major PITA, but you
can fairly easily disable it by adding a return statement right after
the syntax checks in tag_check_valid() (i.e. somewhere around line
1212) in src/contrib/cvs/src/tag.c.

Another solution would be to distribute repoman's val-tags along with
the rest of the repo, but for some reason val-tags in on cvsup's
exclude list.
