Before what?
Here's how the scenario I have in mind:

   cvs update
   ...blabla build, glance at it, try it out, maybe make a tarball of it...
   cvs tag

In what way can this be inconsistent with "the One True Repository"?
In what way is this going to be inconsistent with a checkout by date?
In what way could commits performed "before" affect the consistency?
Is this yet another CVS breakage of which I'm not aware?
