"make tag" failure doesn't fail right?

[Braden McDaniel]

I did:

$ make tag

and got:

cvs tag  -c openvrml-0_18_3-11_fc13
        cvs tag: openvrml.spec is locally modified
        cvs [tag aborted]: correct the above errors first!

Whoops.  And so I proceeded to commit the outstanding changes that I'd
forgotten to commit.  Once I'd done that, I went to tag again:

$ make tag
        cvs tag  -c openvrml-0_18_3-11_fc13
        ERROR: Tag openvrml-0_18_3-11_fc13 has been already created.
        The following tags have been created so far
        .

        .
        openvrml-0_18_3-11_fc13:devel:braden:1258273475
        cvs tag: Pre-tag check failed
        cvs [tag aborted]: correct the above errors first!

Uh oh.

Did my previous "make tag" actually succeed?
