I know for CVSNT in the CVSAPI we have a function that calls rlog and
returns an array of structures to tell a calling program what are tags
and what are branches - but that's no help to you...

Subject: How can we find out which one is tag and which one is
branch?
In CVS, the branch and versions both, are shown as a string of
numerals separated by dot(.) so
How can we find out which one is tag and which one is branch
without any error or ambiguity using shell script?
Is there any script, command or way out?
Thanks and regards,
Pradeep
