[cvsnt] no such tag and CVSROOT/val-tags file

[Markus Kuehni]

Hi

I've got a problem with CVSNT not knowing about my tags.

I found the following on the web:

>>
cvs [checkout aborted]: no such tag tag 
This message means that CVSNT isn't familiar with the tag tag. Usually this
means that you have mistyped a tag name; however there are (relatively
obscure) cases in which CVSNT will require you to try a few other CVSNT
commands involving that tag, before you find one which will cause CVSNT to
update the `val-tags' file; see discussion of val-tags in 2.2.2 File
permissions. You only need to worry about this once for a given tag; when a
tag is listed in `val-tags', it stays there. Note that using `-f' to not
require tag matches does not override this check; see A.5 Common command
options.

Like the text states, cvsnt seems not to register tags I define in the
CVSROOT/val-tags file. What does "CVSNT will require you to try a few other
CVSNT commands involving that tag, before you find one which will cause
CVSNT to update the `val-tags' file" mean? 

Any help greatly appreciated!

Thanks,
Mark
