If the revision specified for -l is a branch, the latest revision on that branch will be used. If no revision is given, the latest revision on the default branch is used.
If the name given for -n is already in use, an error is generated. You can use -N to move a tag (change the revision associated with the tag); however, you should normally use cvs tag
