There are in fact quite a few files in Pike which do not have certain tags even though they were current on trunk when the tag was made. This is typically the case with modules which were initially developed outside the main tree (and imported using the CVS "module" concept, which is not understood by cvs rtag).
if they were developed outside the main tree, doesn't that mean that they were not part of the trunk at that time but merged later?
shouldn't such cases be imported into an independent branch (that has no common base with pike) and then merged into the main pike branch at the appropriate point?
using a merge would represent the true history (developed seperately and then merged)
