I have a project in my repository that is branched. I'm interested in
finding all of the files within a particular branch that have been
modified since a particular time. So I've been running commands like the
following:
    cvs -d \CVSROOT -q log -d ">2003-05-16 06:30:00 PDT" -N -rBranch_A
It gives me what I want, but it also gives me a bunch of messages like the
following:
    cvs log: warning: no revision `Branch_A' in
`\CVSROOT\project\com\foo\SomeClass.java,v'

There are hundreds of files that aren't in the branch, and it seems I get
this warning for every single one of them. The command is executed by our
continuous integration system (CruiseControl) so the warning messages from
cvs log wind up in the same output stream as errors from the build. The
volume of warnings from cvs are drowning our build log files and obscuring
real problems in the builds so I'd like to get rid of the warning messages
if possible. Is it possible to suppress the warnings? Or are they
indicating a problem in my repository that I need to fix but I'm just too
dense to realize it?

Cheers,
  Larry
