Hi,

Thanks for the link. I'm assuming you've adjusted the tags to fit a
single commit.
Out of curiosity: do you think (or have evidence that) this is the only
tag that spans multiple commits?

That's perfectly valid for CVS (and can be represented in subversion as
well). Such a tag cannot (easily) be converted to git, though (nor
mercurial or monotone), where tags are attached to a single commit.

It depends on your understanding of what a tag is. CVS and subversion
certainly have a different understanding from yours (and sometimes tout
this as a feature): their tags can easily span multiple commits.
You (as well as myself, BTW) seem to think of a tag like something
that's attached to a single commit.

Note that this is not necessarily my definition, rather CVS's (or that
of subversion). And yes, CVS repositories can be pretty badly screwed.
