There is also a way to use the co command in a dry run mode (-n global opton I believe.) Then, you just do a 'co .' and see what it would have checked out. But all my attempts to do this on DF.net failed with a protocal error.

And yabb in CVSROOT for SF.net didn't yeild anything, sorry. I guess the ViewCVS investigation is the only way to go. But it might not yeild anything, because it most likely can just read the CVS folders directly off the hard distk. (IOW, I don't think it needs a cvs command to get at them since most are apache on the same server as the cvs repositories. (:pserver host.)

Yes, tags and branches, too. But also the modules themselves. For example, here is a list of all the modules for the viewcvs project:

  http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/viewcvs/viewcvs/

and here are those modules that are tagged as HEAD:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/viewcvs/viewcvs/? only_with_tag=HEAD

I imagine I could dig into the viewcvs code and find out how it queries the CVS server. But that'd be a PITA for something that should be pretty obvious. Actually, that might be an interesting learning experience: using Eclipse to deconstruct the viewcvs code.
