And that is how things should be.

Exports are essentially about product releases.  A product release
across more than a single file simply cannot be identified by a
single revision number.  Revision numbers will usually differ from
file to file.  Only a symbolic tag will provide the consistency you
need for a release, and the refusal shown above just prevents the unwary
CVS user from shooting in his/her own foot.
