Here you say "all the files are tagged properly".

What, exactly do you mean when you say "subdirs are tagged"? CVS only
applies tags to files, not directories (that's one of the
features/problems with CVS compared to other tools).

Here you say "some files are not tagged properly".

I'm confused. 


The normal process for using tags is:

Get your working directory to the point where you want to tag it.

Make sure everything is checked in

cvs tag -c tag_foo

Delete your working directory (or move it somewhere, to be really
safe).

cvs checkout -r tag_foo
