issue with make dist/cvs commit

When I do th cvs tag command by hand it fails exactly the same way. Do
you mean that the tag is somehow arbitrary and all is needed is to set
a tag and request a build corresponding with the tag? A quick look at
the code seems to be consistent with that view, as it seems that the
tag is explicitely used on the plague-client command line:
/usr/bin/plague-client build $(NAME) $(TAG) $(TARGET)

Anyway here is the full error message: 

[dumas at patoune FC-4]$  make tag
cvs tag  -c pam_ssh-1_91-8_fc4

ERROR: Tag pam_ssh-1_91-8_fc4 has been already created.

cvs tag: Pre-tag check failed

make: *** [tag] Erreur 1

When I try to get the file tagged, I get none:
[dumas at patoune FC-4]$ cvs up -r pam_ssh-1_91-8_fc4

cvs [update aborted]: no such tag pam_ssh-1_91-8_fc4

So it seems that there is a bug somewhere of a tag being recorded even if 
the files are not tagged. Maybe that comes from the fact that cvs tag
is called with -c but it triggers something on the server even when it 
fails?
