Yes, the module name is required with rtag.

I don't think you can do this with one command.

cvs rtag -F Dev13 modulename

would tag everything, and

cvs rtag -r Dev13 -F Dev13 modulename

would only "move" the tag to exactly the same revision.

cvs co -d foo -r Dev13 modulename
cvs tag -r HEAD -F Dev13 foo

would move the tag to the head revision of every file which already had the
tag in it.
