How did you do the checkout/update to get to this point?  Somehow,
you've gotten set to a particular revision (200.10.2.1.2.1) instead of
the branch (200.10.2.1.2).  In your original example, 200.10.2.1 is also
a revision (as CVS complained) -- the branch would be 200.10.2 as shown
above under "Existing Tags".  (Branches have an odd number of
components, revisions have an even number.)
