In general, no. CVS does not record this information. Even within a single file, CVS does not record unambiguously which branch served as the parent of another tag. And as a single symbol can have different parents in different files, there is not even necessarily one true answer. There might be tools that use heuristics to infer this information. I work on cvs2svn, which goes to a lot of work to pick plausible repository-wide parents for each symbol. But it is not an easy job. Michael
