Tag the most recent revision no later than date.

Only useful with the `-D date' or `-r tag' flags. If no matching revision is found, use the most recent revision (instead of ignoring the file).

Overwrite an existing tag of the same name on a different revision.

Local; run only in current working directory.

Do not run any tag program that was specified with the `-t' flag inside the `modules' file. (see modules).

Tag directories recursively. This is on by default.

Only tag those files that contain tag. This can be used to rename a tag: tag only the files identified by the old tag, then delete the old tag, leaving the new tag on exactly the same files as the old tag.

Use the `-a' option to have rtag look in the `Attic' (see Attic) for removed files that contain the specified tag. The tag is removed from these files, which makes it convenient to re-use a symbolic tag as development continues (and files get removed from the up-coming distribution).

Make the tag a branch tag. See Branching and merging.

Delete the tag instead of creating it.

In general, tags (often the symbolic names of software distributions) should not be removed, but the `-d' option is available as a means to remove completely obsolete symbolic names if necessary (as might be the case for an Alpha release, or if you mistagged a module).
