[Cvsnt] Possible bug in cvs export -f?

[Czarnowski, Aric]

I checked the archives for "export" and didn't find any threads with the
term in the subject over the last three months so I want to ask the
group if I am correctly understanding the behavior of export's -f
option.  I would expect that when a tag is not found and -f is given
that the HEAD revisions would be pulled.  But when I try this I get:

D:\>cvs export -f -r mytag cvstraining
cvs [export aborted]: no such tag mytag
cvs [export aborted]: reading from server: Invalid argument

D:\>cvs -t export -f -r mytag cvstraining
 -> main loop with CVSROOT=:ntserver:cvs:c:/cvs
S-> do_module (cvstraining, Updating, , )
S-> do_module (cvstraining, Updating, , )
S-> Create_Admin (., cvstraining, c:/cvs/cvstraining, mytag, , 0, 0)
S<- Create_Admin
cvs [export aborted]: reading from server: Invalid argument


The client and server information is:

*** Server (PC name is CVS) ***
Win2000 Pro, Concurrent Versions System (CVS) NT 1.11.1.2 (Build 41)

*** Clients ***
WinXP Pro, Concurrent Versions System (CVS) NT 1.11.1.1 (Build 27)
WinXP Pro, Concurrent Versions System (CVS) NT 1.11.1.2 (Build 41)


Is export -f fully supported?  Is this a bug?  Thanks,
Aric
