Well, the main reason those are not in the common cvs tree is that: * -R - is implemented in a pretty crude way and doesn't work for everything, eg: cvs import doesn't use the common locking functions. And 'cvs release' doesn't work either. * the tag stuff is *really* revolting code. It needs a lot of work to get around arbitary restrictions (eg: only one tag), silly syntax, etc. Most of the stuff that was fit for public consumption has gone back in quite some time ago. There are probably other things that could be cleaned up without too much effort, but we're kind-of stuck with the existing hokey tag mechanism since it's very closely tied to cvsup's implementation too.
