Yep, I could do this (actually this is what I'm doing now), but it would be 
nice to allow some simple keyword expansion there, like in my case

cvs -q tag -d merge*

which would remove all tags starting with "merge" at once. Since I'm 
using :ext: (ssh) I need to enter my pass for _each_tag removal, also, cvs 
needs to touch each file several times, whereas it could remove all matching 
tags with the keyword expansion at once.

Would this be hard to implement? I think it would be a nice feature... Tony?
