I've got a question regarding branches and tags. I've just picked up this 
project so I'm unfamiliar
with what has gone before. I'm not sure which version of CVS is being used 
but I'm pretty sure its
at least 3 years old.

As far as I understand a branch was made on the main development and 
labelled blah00. Since then
some changes have been made to the branch and each set of changes has been 
labelled blah01,
blah02 and blah03.

I wanted to see what changes were made between each label so I attempted to 
get a specific
release using "cvs co -r blah00 ..." and "cvs co -r blah01 ..." so I could 
do a comparison between them.

What I actually got checked out was different from what I expected. I'd 
assumed if I specified a tag
ie "-r blah01" then I would get all versions with that tag. What I seemed 
to get was the latest versions
on that branch.

Is this a misunderstanding on my part, a bug in CVS or am I using the wrong 
command to do what I
want? I've had a good look at the FAQ, online documentation and the two CVS 
books that I have but none of
them can shed any light on the situation.

Thanks in advance for any info.

Tim
