It's impossible to sensibly abort 'cvs add' in any cvs version at the 
moment - if anything it's a 2.6 enhancement as it'll require a few 
changes to the way add works (on the client side too, so you'd have to 
restrict to 2.6 clients when this happens).

The tag information is in the current directory when commitinfo is 
called (I'm surprised Bo didn't mention this).
