[cvsnt] tagging a branch

[Stephen Hartley]

I'd be grateful if anyone can clarify my understanding
of the following behaviour of CVSNT:

My objective is to create a tag which marks the
current end of a CVS branch.


According to
http://www.psc.edu/~semke/cvs_branches.html:

"In order to name the current end of a branch of a
module, use the command

      cvs rtag -r Branchname Tagname my_module
"

which would seem to be exactly what I want - the
branchname is dynamic in that it reflects any files
added/modified on this branch when tagging.

However, according to the description of rtag options
from cvsnt–Concurrent Versions System 2.5.03.2151
(source: http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/), and also
Cederqvist, 

"-r tag Only tag those files that contain existing tag
tag."

Which makes me wonder, if I create a branch and then
add a file on it, if I pass the branch name as the -r
parameter, will the new file get included in the tag? 
(I want it to be included!)

In other words, does rtag's -r option expect a tag
name (Static) or a branch name (dynamic).

Thanks in advance if you can help!

Steve
