Ah yes, so they can! The tag is sticky, not the date, in the resulting
checkout, but the date option is honored as expected. The command
usage for checkout and update (cvs --help co, cvs --help up) should
perhaps be changed from [-r rev | -D date] to [-r rev] [-D date] to indicate
that both options may be used in combination.
In contrast, I note that rtag and tag operations do not accept the
combination of -r and -D options. They are mutually exclusive, and
the help for rtag and tag indicates this ([-r rev | -D date]). It would be
nice for tag/rtag to accept both options as well. (But one could always
tag following checkout with both options and achieve essentially the
same result).
Thanks,
