Package: cvs
Version: 1:1.12.9-14

The manual page does not document the -B option to cvs tag.

This is something which broke some of my scripts when I upgraded from
woody to sarge.

I had to take the detour via Google to find out what was wrong.

If the manual page can't be kept in sync with the info documentation,
perhaps it would be safer to scrap the manual page entirely (or rather,
replace it with a stub pointing to info). While there is a caveat at the
top of the manual page, you often just search for the option or error
message you need help with, and probably don't actually read warnings in
headers or footers.

If this were a real .signature, it would suck less.  Well, maybe not.
