2012-08-03 11:48 AEST by Arthur Barrett - Occasionally people ask for a command to checkout (or otherwise refer to) the root of a branch.

eg:
cvs co -r :CVSNT_2_0_x
cvs diff -r :CVSNT_2_0_x

It's EASY to obtain the base revision number - it's hardcoded in the branch number.

Eg:
CVSNT_BRANCH_2_8_01_3761: 1.106.2.210.6.99.0.2

Base revision of CVSNT_BRANCH_2_8_01_3761 is 1.106.2.210.6.99

So there is no reason why this couldn't be easily handled in the relevant code in the same way as we 
added support for commit id's
