In local mode, the commands in commitinfo have direct access to your "sandbox." In client/server mode, copies of the files being committed are put in a "sandbox" in /tmp on the server. A commitinfo command can use either: cvs -n stat filename or cvs -n log -h filename to find out if the file is on a branch in either case. I use the "-n" option to cvs because at one point, trying to use these commands while doing a commit would have you waiting for your own lock. Even though these commands would not modify your workspace or the repository using "-n" or not, when you used "-n" you didn't have to wait for the lock. I'm not sure if this behavior has changed in a recent release or not, but in any case, using these commands with "-n" works.
