How about "date"? You can get a history out of CVS stating when each
revision was commited (year/mon/day/hh/mm/ss), and CVS already lets you
checkout a snapshot at a specific date, so can't you already accomplish
everything you're describing without using tags?

Subject: Do we have an alternative to tag, to record status of cvs repo
hi ,
In our orgn, we need to keep track of the code base status after each
engineer's check in is done. We were using tagging to keep track of this.
But the huge number of tags getting created over a long time have made the
CVS repository bloated with tags. This is also making the sync. of
repository with our branch located elsewhere too long.
I was wondering whether we have a whatfile kind of tool which was used in
RCS(version no. of each file stored in a whatfile, which is used to check
out the entire code base later). I tried to create a similar kind of tool
using the CVS commands. I am able to create the info file by traversing
through the Entries files in my local copy. But a check out using this file
is taking around 4 hours, as I am issuing a check out command for each file
separately.
Can any body give me a clue how to record the code base status, other than
tagging, so that this can be used to check out the code later. I know that
tag is the obvious solution. But I have problems with tagging, since it
updates almost every file in the repo. This makes my update take too long.
