Is this issue the same thing that the FreeBSD release teams explain :
""""
The next step is to create a branch point tag, so that diffs against the start of the branch are easier with CVS:
/usr/src# cvs rtag -rRELENG_4 RELENG_4_4_BP src
And then a new branch tag is created with:
/usr/src# cvs rtag -b -rRELENG_4_4_BP RELENG_4_4 src
"""
cf. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/articles/releng/release-proc.html
It seems that they always tag a branch point (_BP) to find the starting point of the branch.

in my case there were no changes on the trunk, but you bring up a
point... if there were changes on the trunk, how is a good way to
figure out the point where the branch was created for the purposes of
merging back to the trunk? It seems like this should be something
obvious... how can I view the version tree?
