I'm having trouble updating 4.4 CVS tags on modules and themes in the contributions repository.

Up until maybe two weeks ago I could update the tags (using TortoiseCVS), but since then I've been getting this error:

In C:\drup\contributions: cvs95 -q --lf tag -c -F DRUPAL-4-4 modules/jsdomenu/jsdomenu.module
CVSROOT=:pserver:nedjo@cvs.drupal.org:/cvs/drupal-contrib

Invalid tag for /contributions/modules/jsdomenu.

cvs tag: Pre-tag check failed
cvs [tag aborted]: correct the above errors first!

Error, CVS operation failed

Suggestions for what I'm doing wrong?

I can't reproduce your problem. I noticed that about an hour ago, you checked in a new jsdomenu.module. Did you fix the problem?

I can commit changes fine. The problem is when I try to move a tag (which, if I've got it right, I need to do in order to have the change included in the released 4.4 version). The file is tagged with DRUPAL-4-4, which is listed in the documentation as the correct tag, and worked for me before; but now I get an "invalid tag" error when I try to move the tag to my newly committed revision.

Has the tag used for 4.4 releases changed?

This error resulted from a combination of factors: (a) I was using plain tags rather than branches (the recommended method) and (b) the Drupal CVS scripts had been changed to disallow non-branch tags. I've since communicated with Kjartan Mannes, Drupal CVS administrator, to resolve the issue.
