Continuum ignores the CVS tag attribute set on a maven2 project. You can configure the branch/version for the build using the "edit project" page, but it should respect the tag in the pom.xml

example pom.xml:
<scm>
<connection>scm:cvs:pserver:rsonnek@blah.com:/cvs:project/</connection>
<developerConnection>scm:cvs:pserver:rsonnek@blah.com:/cvs:project/</developerConnection>
<tag>VERSION_1_0</tag>
</scm>

Continuum output:
2005-10-26 13:13:15,015 [Thread-1] DEBUG ScmManager - Command line: cvs -f -d :pserver:rsonnek@blah.com:2401/cvs -q checkout -d 2 project

I could be misunderstanding the purpose of the scm tag. Any clarification on this would be appreciated.
