From <http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_16.html#IDX257>:

> `HEAD' refers to the most recent version available in the repository

In other words, it's a static tag, the most recent version on the trunk, 
not the trunk itself as a branch.  There isn't a trunk tag, but if you 
use dates to tag the trunk at the two times you mentioned, you should be 
able to get what you were trying to.
