You are not talking about tags at all!
Tag is a way cvs uses to mark a set of files as connected to each
other across many revisions.
What you are talking about is keyword expansion which you should
switch off during updates and checkouts. There is a switch for this in
these commands (I am not sure of the exact usage since we never have
any keywords in our files and so do not need these switches.)
