hyphens (-). There are two tags reserved for CVS: the BASE and
HEAD tags. See also rtag.
The tag and rtag commands are also used to create branches.
If no revision number or date is given to the tag command, this
command tags based on the most recent revision in the repository
that was synchronized with the current sandbox directory (i.e., the
most recently updated, checked-out, or committed revision). This
revision can be seen as the working revision in the cvs status
command.
Synonyms: ta, freeze
Standard subcommand options: -D, -f, -l, -r, -R
Options
-b Create a branch off the specified revision, using the specified
tagname as the branch name.
-c Check whether the sandbox copies of the specified files have
been modified since they were last synchronized with the
repository. If they have been modified, do not tag them and
display an error. If they are unmodified, tag them with the
specified tagname. This option is useful when tagging the
current sandbox revisions.
-d Delete the specified tagname from a file.
-F Move the tagname from the revision it currently refers to, to
the revision specified in the tag command.
Example
$ cvs tag alpha_1-5

QuotationMarkI wanted to learn C and C++, but it didn't click for me until I picked up an O'Reilly book. When I went on the O’Reilly platform, I was astonished to find all the books there, plus live events and sandboxes so you could play around with the technology.
