I've been looking for this myself, and I believe you are correct.
A few weeks ago (in August) one of the OpenAvenue developers posted a patch which provides branch info in taginfo (as well as other information I need in commitinfo, etc.). The patch was for the development version of CVS, not 1.10.8, although a backpatch for 1.10.8 was mentioned. Check the egroups archives for "scripting hook patch."
Unfortunately I haven't been able to contact the original poster to find out if the backpatch was ever posted anywhere. If anyone knows where the backpatch can be found, I'd appreciate hearing about it.
Thanks,
Alex
