well, you're looking at a file that was deleted before it made it into any releases. it's not going to have tags. > Is there any way to make cvs show a bunch of changes that are made > between two releases in the -CURRENT and -STABLE branches? cvs diff -rOPENBSD_6_1 -rHEAD ? it's not clear what you're really trying to do. if you want the files for a release, cvs co -r that release.
