Hi Joerg,
The the standard version of cvs available from cvshome.org, the -D
switch only applies to the mainline and will not work with a branch.
If you need/want a version of cvs that lets -D work with branches,
then you may wish to checkout a copy of the FreeBSD version of cvs
which has been extended to allow -D to work with a -r branch.
You may checkout your own copy of the FreeBSD CVS sources using the
commands:
cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/home/ncvs login
CVS password: anoncvs
cvs -d :pserver:address@hidden:/home/ncvs co contrib_cvs
or just browse through the web via
http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/contrib/cvs/
to take a look at the sources. The current top of tree incorporates
all of the changes for cvs 1.11.
Enjoy!
