Thanks Jim!
It turns out that the $Name$ tag is treated special. It gets
expanded when the command is export, but not for checkout or update.
Hmm, a little experimentation shows me that that is not correct, at
least for 'cvs update':
sahp6613% more test4.dat
# $Name: $
sahp6613% rm test4.dat
sahp6613% cvs update -r test_tag2 test4.dat
U test4.dat
sahp6613% more test4.dat
# $Name: test_tag2 $
I did notice, however, that the first time I tried it it didn't expand
$Name$, because 'test_tag2' is on the head revision of the file, so cvs
didn't think it needed to fetch the file again.
