Can a local file be tagged in CVS without being checked-in (committed)?

Individual designers have lots of files checked out and edited, and they create new builds almost every day. Is there a way for them to tag these builds, so that they can re-create them, without actually checking them in to CVS? I'd like to have the designers be able to revert to a the exact files use in a certain build without having to commit the files. Then other designers, when updating their directories, won't grab the files that another designer has tagged until they actually commit them. I am using CVS on a linux machine and it is all from the command prompt.


Please let me know if this is possible.





Thanks.

Sorry, no.





Tagging is adding a label to the revision of a file in the repository. If the file is not in the repository (not checked in) it does not have a revision, and therefore can not be tagged.
