First, I'd question the need for that kind of tagging, but I hope you
really know it's the best way to achieve whatever you're doing :-)

I think you don't want to imagine (much less implement) the solution that
it would take to get all those params etcetera to the loginfo script, so I
suggest you start implementing all the tagging logic into the perl wrapper
your users are running. Try doing a `cvs log` after the commit has
finished, pick up the proper log message and then compose a tag. That way
you wouldn't have to hook the loginfo for this purpose at all.
