Another option would be to write a script to display the tags, revision and
date of that revision for a particular file. The benefit of doing so is that
there are no performance penalties that can occur if you log every tag
operation via taginfo. For instance (a snip of output from my script):

cvs_1_10_8 : 1.1.1.24 date: 2000/03/17 19:32:47  author: dez
cvs_1_11_1 : 1.1.1.26 date: 2001/04/27 04:36:10  author: dez
