It would be nice if there was a wildcard/regular expression list that could be 
setup to filter out CVS tags you don't want to display in the various 
dialogs/views of eclipse (i.e. 'Select a Tag' dialog and 'CVS Repository' view).

Over time the number of tags that exist in CVS for a given module and/or file 
can become excessive, and the ability to only see tags you care about would be 
a great addition to Eclipse.

Good idea for post 2.0.

Filtering by tag creation date would also be benefitial. Unfortunately, this is 
complicated as there is no timestamp associated with tags. However, a rough 
estimate of a tag creation time can be obtained from a file that is modified on 
a regular basis.

A fix has been released to HEAD that supports filtering of tags displayed for 
selection. Works in a similar manner to the filter in the Open Types dialog.
