I believe the "r" actually means "remote" or "repository".  The "r"
commands can modify the cvs repository directly without having to
have a local checkout.  You need to have files checked out to use
`cvs tag`, but you do not have to have files checked out to use
`cvs rtag`.

http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.22/cvs_4.html is more
than likely relevant to both this question and the prior one.

tag is discussed here:
