Synopsis: rtag [OPTIONS] TAG PROJECT(S)

   * Alternate names - rt, rfreeze

   * Requires - Repository

   * Changes - Repository

Tags a module directly in the repository (requires no working copy).
You probably need to have your CVSROOT environment variable set or use
the -d global option for this to work.  (See also Note: tag.)

Options:

   * -a - Clears the tag from any removed files, because removed files
     stay in the repository for historical purposes but are not
     considered part of the live project anymore.  Although it's
     illegal to tag files with a tag name that's already in use, there
     should be no interference if the name is only used in removed
     files (which, from the current point of view of the project, don't
     exist anymore).

   * -b - Creates a new branch, with branch name TAG.

   * -D DATE - Tags the latest revisions no later than DATE.

   * -d - Deletes the tag.  No record is made of this change - the tag
     simply disappears.  CVS does not keep a change history for tags.

   * -F - Forces reassignment of the tag name, if it happens to exist
     already for some other revision in the file.

   * -f - Forces to head revision if a given tag or date is not found.
     (See -r and -D.)

   * -l - Local.  Runs in the current directory only.

   * -n - Won't execute a tag program from CVSROOT/modules. (See the
     section Note: Repository Administrative Files later in this
     chapter for details about such programs.)

   * -R - Recursive.  Descends into subdirectories (the default).  The
     -R option exists only to counteract a -l in .cvsrc.

   * -r REV - Tags revision REV (which may itself be a tag name).
