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.
