[cvsnt] Tagging a removed file

[Haible Pascal]

I haven't tried, but from my understanding of cvs you should update your
sandbox to last midnight's
versions, and then retry tagging.

cvs update -d -D today
might be enough, as date specifications without time are interpreted as
00:00 (UTC?),
as I have learned the hard way.
