I've not tried `t' yet. I'll do that later; I've saved the email's.
OK, I've gone ahead and downloaded GNU Emacs 20.5, to test out pcl-cvs
there (I haven't built a GNU Emacs version since about 19.14!). Turns
out that pcl-cvs-2.9.7 has the same behaviour there. However, reading
the pcl-cvs info file, I found this:
Tagging files
=============
`t'
Tag all selected files by running `cvs tag' on them.
(`cvs-mode-tag'). It's usually preferable to tag directories at a
time. Rather than selecting all files (which too often doesn't
select all files but only the few that are displayed), clear the
selection with `M-DEL' (`cvs-mode-unmark-all-files'), position the
cursor on the directory you want to tag and hit `t'.
When I tried tagging a directory, it in fact worked. But it seems to
me that tagging individual files *ought* to work even though this Info
entry says this is not the preferable way to use the tagging feature.
