I don't think Mike was trying to knock you for the question.  There's been 
a couple of branches in CVS, so he was doublechecking what you wanted.

For something decent for CVS branch usage [esp syntax] check out:
http://cvsbook.red-bean.com/cvsbook.html#Branches

I use the entire book from time to time for reference, but this is where I 
learned the syntax for branching.

HTH!
