Hmmm... I may be getting confused, I thought
.trunk.root.prev would be the `0' revision,
but if you are right then .trunk.root.next
would be the same as .origin right?

As for `0', we probably need to be more consistent
about it... for example, the command:

  cvs rdiff -r0 -r1.1 foo-module/foo-file

yeilds a diff against /dev/null of the foo-file
while the commands

  cvs co foo-module && cd foo-module && cvs diff -r0 -r1.1 foo-file

yeilds an error message:

  'cvs diff: tag 0 is not in file foo-file'

this probably needs to be `fixed' to do something
reasonable with `0' for most uses as a phantom
revision that exists before the file existed on
the branch or trunk.
