If the tag doesn't exist at all, CVS assumes that you've made a mistake
and so doesn't do anything. After all, if the tag doesn't exist at all,
why are you specifying it with -f instead of just checking out the head?

Actually, Case 3 may or may not work -- it depends on whether the tag is
in the CVSROOT/val-tags file or not. If it is, it works; if it's not,
it doesn't.
