I really think CVS should be fixed. It's not really a case of moving a tag, it's more a case of adding files to a tag.

No, you should be able to recreate the tarball by using the tag. Too bad that you can't exactly recreate the binaries -- a binary is what it is, and rarely duplicatable 100%.

[0] and WTF does cvs not pick up new directories by default? How is that a good idea?

Who knows. For years, I've got this in my .profile:

alias sup='cvs -z3 -q update -d -P'

It's the -d -P part that does it.
