Actually, seeing that according to cvs -H log a trailing period
character is already interpreted to mean "last revision on the branch",
how about using a *leading* period to refer to the first revision on
the branch, i.e. the branchpoint (is that interpretation debateable,
though?)?

A slash character also comes to mind (often associated with "root") but
I guess that could too easily be mistaken for a path separator...
