Can you tell me what reasons there could be why it can't find a tag? I don't
think it's about line endings as it's all local, so same file system and no
network issues. The log command shows the tag and all the other info
so the file shouldn't be corrupted. After adding the tag to the val-tags file
everything works. That would also mean that the file itself is ok.
I don't have the cvs source code. What reasons are there that it can't find
the tag if cvs has to look in the file itself? Any "special" string compares?
Case issues? Forbidden chars in tags?

Thanks
