The "cvs tag" command should be unnecessary.

The main difference between "cvs update -j" and "cvs update -r" is
that -r tags the updated version with the tag used to retrieve it,
while -j will use the current tag (i.e existing files will retain
their tag, new files will get the tag from the CVS/Tag file).
