[cvsnt] Tagging capacity - how many files can I tag at once

[kmknox at aep.com]

Thanks, Bo and Tony. Your replies cover a lot of the same ground, so I 
will combine my answers. 

The problem was that the tagging function hangs when tagging more than 
1000 files. This is true using TortoiseCVS or the command line on the 
local Linux server. 

You gave me 3 suggestions:
1) Disable the -c option.
2) Disable the taginfo script
3) Upgrade to a current version of cvsnt. 

Options 1 & 2 together make the whole system work from the command line 
and the remote client. The remote client fails if either of those two 
options is enabled, but the command line option works if taginfo is 
disabled whether -c is enabled or not. 

I am not ready to condemn taginfo, though. I replaced my taginfo script 
with a bash shell script that simply says "exit 0;" and got the exact same 
symptoms. The problem seems not to be with the script, but with trying to 
pull together the files that need to be tested. 

I guess I need to do the upgrade and try again.
