tag options

These standard options are supported by tag (see section Common command options, for a complete description of them):

-F
Overwrite an existing tag of the same name on a different revision.
-l
Local; run only in current working directory.
-R
Tag directories recursively. This is on by default.

Two special options are available:

-b
Make the tag a branch tag (see section Branching and merging), allowing concurrent, isolated development. This is most useful for creating a patch to a previously released software distribution.
-c
Check that all files which are to be tagged are unmodified. This can be used to make sure that you can reconstruct the current file contents.
-d
Delete a tag. If you use `cvs tag -d symbolic_tag', the symbolic tag you specify is deleted instead of being added. Warning: Be very certain of your ground before you delete a tag; doing this permanently discards some historical information, which may later turn out to be valuable.
