It is possible to remove tagged files from the current branch or the
trunk because a checkout using the tag will still checkout the tagged
version of the file with no problems.

  cvs checkout myproj
  cd myproj
  cvs tag my-release-1-0
  : assume that there is a foo.c version 1.12 here
  cvs remove foo.c
  cvs commit foo.c
  cvs log foo.c
  : you will see the output about version 1.13 being a 'dead' version

...

  : sometime latter in a different directory you could do the following
  cvs checkout -rmy-release-1-0 myproj
  cvs status foo.c
  : there is a foo.c here and it is version 1.12

I hope this helps with your understanding.

Doing a 'cvs remove' operation does not remove the file from the
repository, it creates a dead version of the file for the current
branch.
