I found now the point in which all normal users will give up:

The handbook states this:

Which version(s) of them do you want?

'With CVSup, you can receive virtually any version of the sources that ever 
existed. That is possible because the cvsupd server works directly from the CVS 
repository, which contains all of the versions. You specify which one of them 
you want using the tag= and date= value fields.

Warning: Be very careful to specify any tag= fields correctly. Some tags are 
valid only for certain collections of files. If you specify an incorrect or 
misspelled tag, CVSup will delete files which you probably do not want deleted. 
In particular, use only tag=. for the ports-* collections.'

Why should a normal user continue to search for a tag when the handbook is so 
clear on this?
