Package: cvs
Version: 1.11.1p1-1
Severity: important
cvs doesn't seem to allow the user to use the -D date and -r branch options
together when doing an update or fresh checkout. The result is either the
branch at the current day, or the specified date from trunk and not the
branch.
The means a developer cannot checkout a branched version of a project at a
specified date (unless I'm doing something wrong), which can be quite a
problem.

Hi,
indeed -r and -D override each other. You want this:
`-r TAG[:DATE]'
Use the revision specified by the TAG argument (and the DATE
argument for the commands which accept it) instead of the default
"head" revision. As well as arbitrary tags defined with the `tag'
or `rtag' command, two special tags are always available: `HEAD'
refers to the most recent version available in the repository, and
`BASE' refers to the revision you last checked out into the
current working directory.
[…]
`-r TAG[:DATE]' is available with the `annotate', `checkout',
`diff', `export', `rdiff', `rtag', and `update' commands.
(copied straight from the texinfo documentation)
