The Vendor Tag is a "branch tag", which refers to the whole branch. It does not
point to any specific revision of files on the vendor branch, and, if used in a
cvs checkout command, will retrieve the newest revision of a file on the vendor
branch.
The Release Tag is a "normal tag", and refers to a specific revision on the
branch. If used in a cvs checkout command, it will always retrieve the same
revision of a file, even if newer revisions of the file have been imported onto
the vendor branch.

Subject: Just starting ?
Ok, I am working with cvs now, and everything seems to work now.
But, what isn't really clear to me, are the meaning of "vendor tag"
and "release tag" ?
Can someone please explain that to me, as I only find little
information about it in the cvs manual, which doesn't really make
sense to me.
