Is there a way on the CVS command line to list all files associated with a tag?
To retrieve a tagged file or set of files, use the -r tagname option to cvs checkout or cvs update .
The cvs update command is used to merge changes that have been made to a repository into files that have been checked out. Note that it is reverse operation from the one we normally do on VMS, we only ever merge changes made from a checkout into the CMS repository.
Making a Branch You can make a branch with the -b option to the cvs tag or cvs rtag commands. This option can be combined with any of the other tag-creation options of those commands. You can use a date, existing tag, or revision number to specify the revision to be branched from.
About the closest you'll be able to get is with this:
cvs -q log -R -N -S -rTAGNAME
This works against local copy, it doesn't pull from the server.
EDIT:
As Ken mentioned, a slight variation will make it pull from the server, but in this situation you need to specify the module name too.
cvs -q rlog -R -N -S -rTAGNAME MODULENAME
