The CVS server itself cannot prevent this at tag time, but we could add 
 the logic to the common/Makefile.common to parse the tag and rpmvercmp 
it to other branches.  If anyone wants to volunteer to write this, see 
the code in /usr/bin/fedora-rpmvercmp from fedora-rpmdevtools for some 
python rpm ENVR comparison sample code.
