Assign a tag to the sandbox revisions of a set of files. You can use the status -v command to list the existing tags for a file.
The tag
must start with a letter and must
consist entirely of letters, numbers, dashes (-
),
and underscores (_
). Therefore, while you might
want to tag your hello
project with
1.0
when you release Version 1.0,
you’ll need to tag it with something like
hello-1_0
instead.
The standard meanings of the common client options -D, -f, -l, -r, and -R apply. Additional options are listed in Table 18-36.

Make a branch. |

Check for changes. Make sure the files are not locally modified before tagging. |

Force. Move the tag from its current revision to the one specified. |
Since the -d option throws away information that might be important, it is recommended that you use it only when absolutely necessary. It is usually better to create a different tag with a similar name.
