Is this really a problem in practice? I honestly do not care what is or has
been in cvs between actual releases. The srpm has all the files that are part
of a build. I never use cvs to research a problem.
It is useful and important to keep the CVS matching .src.rpm's. One of
many checks after the intrusion that we did was comparing the CVS tags
to .src.rpm contents.
We can achieve this by having force-tag fail if the buildsystem says that
E:N-V-R was either already built or is currently building.
Or by embedding a sources file in the srpm that cross references all cvs
versions of all files used in the build attempt. Doing it this way wouldn't
have required disrupting the workflow.
The "Better force-tag" proposal doesn't disrupt your workflow either,
unless you are doing something clearly wrong.
