Answer 1

I don't think you can. Tags in CVS don't have an existence outside of the files that have that tag, and file either has the tag, or it doesn't.

That's why it's a good idea to put a timestamp in the tag name, when you tag it.

lets say that a file in the module have that specific tag on it with many other tags. then what? – Epigeal

Answer 2

You can apply the same tag to two different files at different times, so trying to find the date/time of a tag is impossible.
