BTW this belongs more on the cvs-info@nongnu.org list.
If you reply further, please only reply to the cvs-info@nongnu.org list, which 
I have CCed, thanks.

Assuming we can ignore the "only the checked-out files" bit because all history/log commands under 
CVS IIRC work on either A specified file or the whole tree in the directory where you are when looking.
cvs2cl [1] may do the job for you.
cvs2cl -r -t -F branch1_0
cvs2cl -r -t --follow-only branch1_0
cvs2cl -r -t --follow-only branch2_0
cvs2cl -r -t --follow-only branch3_0
will I think work if you have reasonable branch tags.

cvs2cl -r -t -F branch1_0 -R username
then less the ChangeLog file and stop when you reach the "perticular date".
