I have been a happy user of CVS for 5+ years. I am now beginning to write
some scripts to generate changelogs. As I head into that, I find that for
the last several years there are no T records in CVSROOT/history.

I added an explicit "LogHistory=TOEFWUPCGMAR" to CVSROOT/config
and the next TAG created a line, but subsequent ones have not.

My server is 1.11.17 runnning on Linux (Fedora Core 3) and my
desktop clients are various Windows releases running the 1.10
(Halibut) client build. I see the same problem with :local: access 
and remote access using :server: access.

As a workaround, I am now using the O records generated when
I check out a tagged release as an indication of then the TAG
was performed, but this is not quite satisfactory.

Is this a code problem or a setup problem?
