If you've done "cvs update" since the release, "cvs tag" will apply
the tag to the updated versions, not the versions in the release. In
that case, you can use "cvs rtag -D <date> ..." with the correct date
(the time of the "cvs update" command corresponding to the released
versions) instead.

BTW, I would suggest leaving the CVS directories in the tarballs, so
that someone can use "cvs update" to get a later version. Ideally, the
CVS/Root files should be set for anonymous (pserver) access, but it's
easy enough to replace them using a script if you have a copy which
was checked out using ssh.
