>From your description, it sounds like you really want to compare the
head of the branch with the root of the branch.  One approach is:

        cvs log -RS -rbranch


If you tagged the root before you created the branch (which you always
should), you can also do:

        cvs diff --brief -rbranch-root -rbranch

or whatever other options you want.
