No it won't! I have to know to *which* file to run "cvs status" in
order to get the info I want. And depending on the tag I'm interested
in, it might not be sufficient to do "cvs status" on one file alone!

Take for instance this very real example (my source-tree is a
linux-kernel):

  cvs status -v Makefile

===================================================================
File: Makefile          Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:    1.1.1.2 Wed Oct 23 16:20:33 2002
   Repository revision: 1.1.1.2

        T2      (revision: 1.1.1.1)
        T1      (branch: 1.1.1)

and try to answer:

  which tag represents the most recent vendor-branch import?

/npat
