No, from your comments, I do not believe you understand.
The only reliable way you will get the files to substitute $Name$
for you is to do an initial checkout with of the tag you want.
CVS was not really designed to do this kind of hackery for you.

Doing a 'cvs checkout' where cvs sees an existing tree will just be
converted into a 'cvs update' the local side will not see any modified
timestamps and will therefore not do the round-trip to the server to get
the replacements for $Name$.

No.

No, or at least not separately from the actual conents of the file
in the repository.
