your description is unclear. do you say that the tag existed when you
did the "cvs up", and doing the "cvs rm" and "cvs ci" caused the tag
to be removed from the file ? are you sure than no one did "cvs tag -d
tag" on this file, or on some part of the repository ?
note also that (AFAIK) -r and -f options are not applicable to the
"rm" command.
to me this doesn't look like a bug, so this discussion probably
belongs in the gnu.cvs.help newsgroup.

what do you mean by "cvs doesn't have the delete log" ?
do you mean that the removal of the file from the branch is not shown
when doing "cvs log a.txt" ?
