vendor tag

[Schwenk, Jeanie]

How can a vendor tag and vendor branch be verified as being present?  I
looked at the cvs history, cvs log and cvs status and didn't see anything
that was labeled as something that struck me as ... aha, this is a vendor
branch.  Is it just one of the symbolic names like another tag because a tag
is simply a tag and a branch is simply a branch?

I've included two small examples below.  The first one has a branch of 1.1.1
and a symbolic name of "SomeText: 1.1.1".   This looks to me like simply a
branch that has the a tag "SomeText".  Is there anyway to distinguish it as
being a vendor branch?

The second one has the symbolic name of "SomeText: 1.1.1" but no branch
listed.  I would think if it was a vendor tag, it would not be on the file
with no branch listed. 

head: 1.1
branch: 1.1.1
locks: strict
access list:
symbolic names:
        V2_1: 1.1.1.1
        SomeText: 1.1.1
keyword substitution: kv
total revisions: 2;     selected revisions: 2


head: 1.2
branch:
locks: strict
access list:
symbolic names:
        V2_1: 1.1.1.1
        SomeText: 1.1.1
keyword substitution: kv
total revisions: 3;     selected revisions: 3

Thanks.
