Is there any reason why cvs doesn't let you examine the diff between
two revisions on the same branch with different dates, when that branch
is not the main branch??

For example, why can't you say:

  cvs diff -r SOME_BRANCH -D 'January 1, 1997 0:0' -D 'January 2, 1997 0:0' 

or maybe:

  cvs diff -r SOME_BRANCH:'January 1, 1997 0:0' -r SOME_BRANCH:'January 2, 1997 0:0' 

The second one is obviously possible because "cvs checkout -j" can do it.

This is *really* annoying.
