I've also tried to do this using a C-x v s (version control snapshot) w/o success. The PCL-CVS documentation suggests that it is a replacement for the VC frontend (when using CVS). This leads me to three questions: 1. What must I do to get the PCL-CVS *cvs* buffer's 't' command to tag a 'snapshot'? Below are the details. 2. Does it make sense to use the VC front-end instead of PCL-CVS some/most of the time when working with a CVS backend? 3. Are there any plans to merge the two frontends? - |cvs-force-dir-tag's value is t | |Documentation: |*If non-nil, tagging can only be applied to directories. |Tagging should generally be applied a directory at a time,... - pressing 't' in *cvs* after mouse-clicking on this spot... ...............v In directory .: ...here in the buffer presents this in the minibuffer...
