The confusion isn't from the tags, but the dates; if the ,v was created 2 years ago, asking for the python tree as of a year ago (using -D ) will include the file, even though it wasn't part of our repository then. Asking for a specific tag (using -r ) will properly not include it unless there's a matching tag there.

Is it feasible to hack the dates in the ,v file so that it looks like all the revisions happened between say

2000.08.19.10.50.00

and

2000.08.19.10.51.00

? This probably has problems too, but they will be more subtle...

Cheers, M.
