For me tag did time-out when I had binary RCS files of size 800 MB (I know, I Know. When I asked the developers why they put rapidly changing 10 MB binaries under source control they looked pretty sheepish.) Making a copy of the file for tagging makes sense, but I wonder what else is going on or how the copy is being made. We have fast disks. I can copy a 800 MB file using Windows explorer in under 2 seconds. I am wondering if the entire atomic operation is causing the time-out. That 800 MB file was being tagged along with 4000 other files. Another client trying to check out files would check out some files, then hit a wall and time-out after 20 seconds. In other cases the tagging would time out if another client was doing a checkout (or different tagging operation.) Much of our code is cross-platform and a Windows client and Mac client can be tagging the same files at the same time. Our largest RCS file is now 20 MB and we no longer have time-outs. (We now have very few RCS files > 1 MB) Randy McCharles SMART Technologies Inc.

Tag is the same. cvs log loads the entire file, because it calculates statistics about the revisions too. log is the slowest operation cvs can do. Tag is reasonably fast... it still needs to create a copy of the file with the tag in though so your disk speed matters a lot.
