There is no revision called "HEAD" dated 2003-02-16... The head revision is
somewhere like "today" for all files... You use -D and -r together just to
see which files committed on day "-D" have not been modified until today
(the're still on -r HEAD)...
In short(s):
cvs -d :pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/home/cvspublic \
-z3 checkout -D 2003-02-16 xml-cocoon2
Works.
