I set up anonymous read-only pserver access to my test repository and noticed that the 
'tag' operation does not verify if a user has permission to perform a tag operation 
(through the readers file in any case).  The 'rtag' operation works as expected 
(giving the following error: cvs [server aborted]: "rtag" requires write access to the 
repository).

I've also noticed that rtag operations get logged into the CVSROOT/history file where 
tag operations do not.

Both rtag and tag call the taginfo administrative scripts, so I'm able to log both 
operations through that, and also verify permission for tag operations.

Does anyone know why the two would have different behaviour when checking permissions 
to perform the operation?
