Hmm. I looked through the source of the import script. It appears to
mention tags here and there, but doesn't seem to do it. There is a
comment that reads:
# Previous CVS versions just added the tag to the current HEAD
# revision and didn't insert a dead revision on the branch with
# the same date, like it is happening now.
# This means history is unclear as we can't reliably determine
# if the tagging happened at the same time as the addition to
# the branch. For now, just assume it did.
#
# XXX can't reproduce for now, disabling, as it breaks some
# things
#
Basically, it comes down to cvs tags not being actual first class
happening, but just metadata on files.
I'm sure we could script the creation of these tags fairly reliably on
*our* repository since we know which files are always updated when a tag
is added. I'm thinking we could just parse the log for configure.in and
grab the tags from there. Thoughts?
