The tag will create a point in time in the CVS repository that cannot be
ever changed.  This is a restriction that we've always assumed does not
exist on the "HEAD" until a .0 release.  We have always been free to do
repository reorganizing until the .0 release.  A tag that should always
produce the same thing, breaks our SOP[*] and was one of the concerns of
cvs@freebsd.org.
