OK, let's do a test.  I just did this:

$ cvs add watch-list.php
$ cvs commit watch-list.php
$ cvs stat -v watch-list.php
===================================================================
File: watch-list.php    Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:    1.1
   Repository revision: 1.1     
/home/repositories/freshports-1/www/watch-list.php,v
   Sticky Tag:          (none)
   Sticky Date:         (none)
   Sticky Options:      (none)

   Existing Tags:
        No Tags Exist

$ cvs update -j 1.1 watch-list.php
$ cvs stat -v watch-list.php
===================================================================
File: watch-list.php    Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:    1.2
   Repository revision: 1.2     
/home/repositories/freshports-1/www/watch-list.php,v
   Sticky Tag:          (none)
   Sticky Date:         (none)
   Sticky Options:      (none)

I still have to move this file to the FreshPorts2 branch.  Before I try the
"cvs -q tag -b FreshPorts2", do you have any other suggestions?
