Yes, it is.
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 -N -h filename
to find out if the file is on a branch in either case.
This exact thread came through this list last week, with the exact same
answer. If you're still confused, spend a few minutes looking at the
archives.
