I have recently written some code as part of LibCVS which can get an approximation of the time a tag was applied, based on the times of the revisions which were tagged. It can give you lower and upper bounds for when the tag was applied. It will not produce accurate results for tags which have been moved, applied to historical snapshots, applied to different files at different times, or other similar circumstances. It's Perl code, if you're interested in using it. Alex -- http://libcvs.cvshome.org/ Access CVS through a library.
