Is this a way to tag and entire repository structure without having to check it out first.  We have a huge repository about 2GB of data at a remote site. Running a old verion of CVS 1.11.23.  Yeah I know its old, but i cant do anything about it.

Something like 

cvs tag <tag_name> :pserver:[email protected]:/usr/local/cvsroot/<project> 

Thanks
