The time of cvs extraction is not what matters at all. What about the most recent timestamp in the history file for that branch? If you use "-r <branch_tag>:<date>", the most recent timestamp in the history file that is older than "<date>" should be used. This assumes that folks who use cloned copies of the CVS tree possess copies of the history file from the master CVS tree.
