Not 100% sure I understand the request. Here's my interpretation:

- You have a project that  has already been tagged with 2 tags, e.g. TAG1
and TAG2
- You would like to display the difference between the set of files
taggedTAG1 and those tagged TAG2
- You want a shortcut for:
 mkdir DIR1; cd DIR1; cvs co -r TAG1 project
 mkdir ../DIR2; cd ../DIR2; cvs co -r TAG2 project
 cd ..; diff -r DIR1 DIR2

For this case, "cvs rdiff -r TAG1 -r TAG2 project" does the job. For
details, see:
