Are they /deleted/ from the sandbox or /cvs removed/ from the repository?

I'm not sure about how exactly cvs tag works, but here's what I assume:

- File checked out (exists in the CVS admin files in the sandbox) and
present in the sandbox: gets tagged.

- File not checked out (doesn't exist in the CVS admin files in the
sandbox): does not get tagged.

- File checked out (exists in the CVS admin files in the sandbox) and not
present in the sandbox because the file has been deleted after checkout: I
think this gets tagged, even though the file itself is not present.

- File checked out (probably exists in the CVS admin files in the sandbox)
and not present in the sandbox because the current revision of the file is
dead (file has been cvs removed): I think this gets tagged, but the tagged
revision is dead, so a checkout of the tag won't fetch the file.
