Thanks. I tried running this in the working directory, but CVS complains
that it doesn't know anything about the tag.

Todd D's cvs2cl suggestion in a later message worked well, thanks!

Can anybody comment on the speed of tagging a repository with 6-7K
files? Also, how much of a disk hit are we looking at? We're going to be
marking things several times a week...

Is there a FAQ or reference site somewhere that discusses this stuff?

Thanks!
