No, you indeed need to be able to specify a date/time if there are no tags.

This doesn't look so nice, since you can put arbitrary arguments to CVS in
"tag". Wouldn't it be better to have separate "tag" and "date" arguments? I.e.
fetchCVS { ...; tag = "foo"; } would map to `cvs -r "foo"', and
fetchCVS { ...; date = "2007-20-10"; } would map to `cvs -D "2007-20-10"', and
