If the branch was created with a recent feature release of CVS, I believe that there is a way to determine the base of the branch, but unfortunately I don't know the details. If the branch was created using a 1.11.* or older version of CVS then CVS cannot find the base of the branch. However, LibCVS (see my sig) does include a script which will tag the base of the branch for you. Feel free to contact me if you are having more trouble.
