Yes, I encountered this problem allready, but that's the reason, why I
'move' the cvs tag. So my cvs tag line reads as:

cvs tag -F $(TAG_OPTS) -c $(TAG)

(As you can see I added -F).

That works fine here. I'm sure, that you, Red Hatters, do work this way and
I also work this way very often, but for the most people out there - I guess
- they run tag and build on the same machine!?

The reason why I always tag it before building, is that I cannot forget it
then. :-)

Best,
 Oliver

PS: It was just any idea and it works fine at my boxes...
