tag works on the files in the sandbox, so it'll tag whatever versions
you have checked out.

rtag works directly on the repository and will tag the HEAD revisions
unless told otherwise.  rtag will also tag deleted revisions, which
tag will not (CVS normally assumes an untagged file is deleted for the
purposes of a tagged checkout anyway, but there are some cases where
the difference matters).

I generally use tag exclusively.. choose whatever works best for you,
though.
