And of course the first question is... Why would you want to record that 
information?  because revision numbers are for CVS's use, tags are for human 
and build system use.

but to answer the question as asked...



Use the Unix[1].

cvs status | \
 grep "Repository revision:" | \
 awk '{print $4 " " $3}' > /tmp/working


cat /tmp/working | \
while read -t 1 input; \
do \
  VERSION=`echo $input|awk '{print $2'}` ;  \
  FNAME=`echo $input|awk '{print $1'} | \
        xargs -iXXX basename XXX ,v`; \
  echo "$FNAME $VERSION"; \
done > /tmp/ResPons.txt
