I don't think that's correct -- CVSROOT/val-tags exists to keep CVS from
having to do recursive searches of the repository to determine whether a
tag is valid. But that's exactly what happens when the tag isn't found
in the val-tags file except that CVS doesn't search the entire
repository, it only searches the files specified in the command. So,
one could argue that Case 3 is supposed to *fail* all the time.
