CVS history and tag vs rtag

[Martin FUZZEY]

Hi all,

I have a question regarding the entries added to the CVS history file for 
tag operations.

The documentation clearly states that only a rtag operation (and not the 
normal tag) operation writes a history entry.

Could someone in the know tell me why this decision was made. It seems very 
strange to me to exclude norrmal tag operations, whilst at the same time 
logging checkouts which do not affect the repository state [I know this can 
be turned off if desired]

Thanks,

Martin
