Oops. I forgot about that. My approach, then, would probably be something like this: - Restore the repo from backups (to a temporary location! because restoring the live one would clobber any recent commits) - Use the scratch copy to get a list of file->rev# mappings for the R20011113-patch tag - Use "cvs admin" or "rcs" to reapply the tag to each file in the live repo Because you have to wait for the restore, this plan might be slower than figuring out the revision numbers by reading the entrails of the live ,v files; but it seems easier and less error-prone.
