You may be right.

Perhaps you can help me with this statement found in

https://www.netbsd.org/docs/current/#tagging

--snip--

Tagging a successful build

   If the build completes successfully, and
   produces a working set of binaries, it can
   be useful to tag the working sources. This
   allows rewinding to a working build tree
   with a single CVS command in the event that
   the current tree becomes unbuildable for any
   reason. This can be performed by issuing the
   following command:
$ cvs tag successful-build-build date

--snip--

My execution of that command (issued in /usr/src) yields:

$ cvs tag successful-build-build date
cvs tag: nothing known about date
cvs [tag aborted]: correct the above errors first!


A quick look at the manual for cvs looks like it probably should have just been:


cvs tag successful-build-$DATE


where $DATE is todays date.
