Minor addition to this: you can distinguish branches and tags by using
`cvs status -v'.
(Historical note: CVS was originally implemented as shell scripts on
top of RCS. The .0 syntax was magic which CVS used to indicate a
branch as opposed to a revision tag. The output of `cvs log' is
simply the output of `rlog' on the underlying RCS file. `cvs status'
is not based on an existing RCS command.)
