I tried cvs-src both with tag only and with tag+date, they too seem to 
only fetch snapshots (of HEAD, I believe). When using different dates 
and running cvsup again, cvsup will add deltas to files to make them the 
right snapshot.

The total size of the resulting cvs-src is:

$ du -sk ruby/*
2672    ruby/app
256     ruby/eruby
9132    ruby/lib
524     ruby/mod_ruby
1196    ruby/oniguruma
4784    ruby/pocketruby
2920    ruby/rough
736     ruby/rubicon
16776   ruby/ruby
4196    ruby/shim

That is about right for a snapshot right? (I'd expect bigger sizes for 
the repository). So I haven't found a way to fetch the CVS files (like 
Attic/, *,v, etc).
