The cvs rtag
command tags the repository as of a
certain date or time (or can be used to tag the latest
revision). rtag
works directly on the
repository contents (it requires no prior checkout and
does not look for a working directory).
The following options specify which date or revision to tag. See section Common command options, for a complete description of them.
-D date
-f
-r tag
The cvs tag
command also allows one to specify
files by revision or date, using the same `-r',
`-D', and `-f' options. However, this
feature is probably not what you want. The reason is
that cvs tag
chooses which files to tag based on
the files that exist in the working directory, rather
than the files which existed as of the given tag/date.
Therefore, you are generally better off using cvs
rtag
. The exceptions might be cases like:
cvs tag -r 1.4 backend.c
