Well, you just haven't gotten intimately familiar with the CVS info
documents (don't, it's not worth the pain).  Anyway, to get a list of
the branches available in a module, try doing 'cvs -z3 log ChangeLog
|less'.  The branches available will be listed near the top.  I just use
ChangeLog because it's a file that exists in every branch.  It's not
exactly user friendly, but then again, neither is the rest of CVS.
