It's a interesting idea.
However, it may be a little difficult to implement.
As you know, CVS repository can be updated anytime but GLOBAL makes
tag files statically. I think we should fix the set of source code.
For example, how about using .date file?

1. Generate phase

% date "+%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S" >.date      # record current time into .date file.
% co -D "`cat .date`" ...               # check out all source files using
                                        # -D <date> option.
% gtags /var/tmp                        # create tag files.
% htags --except-html-of-source-code    # make indexes except for hypertext
                                        # of source code.
% rm -rf *                              # delete all source files.

2. Refered phase

Cgi program does the following jobs:

% co -D "`cat .date`" aaaa.c            # extract requested source file using
                                        # -D <date> option.
% convert < aaaa.c > 1234.html          # convert *.c into *.html

(I wrote this example in command line image. But it should part of gtags or
htags.)

What do you think?
