Awesome! I've wanted to be able to do tags like '-rRELENG_4:2002/09/01'
for years.. 

Haven't tested your changes but the patch looks reasonable to me.

ISTR that the '-j' option allows some combinations of branch + date.
Are you aware of that? Does anything need to be rectified between
the '-j' stuff and your changes? Also, what do the CVS people think
of your patch?

Cheers,
-Archie
