Assuming that all of your release tags follow a pattern, i.e., release_1, 
release_2, release_3....

The tool I would use is cvs2cl[1].

cvs2cl -t -T --show-dead

This should give you a Changelog file that contains, among other things, a 
list of every normal[2] tag ever applied to the baseline.  _From there you can 
search for the pattern that above I assumed existed.


`cvs2cl --help` should give you help with the options of your version of cvs2cl.

[1] http://www.red-bean.com/cvs2cl/
    or the python version of it cvs2cl.py that is included in CVSNT (Which 
IIRC is included in WinCVS)

[2] it _may_ not show branch tags (created with `cvs tag -b`), but I am not 
sure.


You may also want to ask on the CVSNT mailing list, because there folks there 
who are more familiar with what is available in the windows toolbox.

cvsnt list:

Hope this helps.
