>Why not check timestamps, then branches?

The client only has the local file and the local CVS/Entries file at
the time that it makes this decision.  The only branch info is available
from CVS/Entries; the CVS/Entries file had the correct branch info for the
new file (i.e. the branch that doesn't exist yet, and won't if the
client doesn't upload the file for the server to check in).

This is a waste of bandwidth for non-checkin operations.  The CVS
client-server protocol does not have the facilities to do this well.
