Re: difference between tag and rtag?

Jason Yeung writes: I'm a beginner of CVS and I was wondering what is the difference between tag and rtag? They both assign symbolic tags to a set of files. tag must be used in a working directory. It tags just the files that are present in the working directory and, by default, applies the
