Which will probably defeat the whole point of the original patch,
which IIRC was to get things to work even with a CVS that didn't
support per-directory stick tags.  There's no other reason to pass the
branch name explicitly otherwise AFAIK, and it's actually harmful as
Richard Earnshaw pointed out.  Personally, I'd much rather have the
original patch reverted, and get whoever uses such an ancient version
of cvs to upgrade or pass the -r option explicitly.
