rcs log and symbolic branch tags

[Stuart Donaldson]

Is there a way to get "cvs log" output for a repository without a working
directory?
Is there a version of RCS rlog which works with CVS symbolic branch tags?

I am trying to create a utility to examine my CVS repository, using the RCS
rlog utility to dump information about the files under version control.
However, the RCS rlog utility (RCS version 5.7) seems to have the following
problems:

1) It tries to interpret the allowed '-' character within a symbolic name as
a range specifier.
2) It does not recognize CVS branches (#.#.0.#) as a branch.

Thanks...
