Branches aren't tagged... versions are - cvs doesn't really care about
branches in that case.  In the commit case the branch info is sent via
loginfo as part of its standard input - what is generally done is store up
all the branches that are being committed by the loginfo calls, then when
commitinfo is called pick up this data - see the commit_prep.pl and
log_accum.pl scripts for an example.

AFAIK no version information is passed to verifymsg at all.. it's a known
deficiency that probably needs fixing.
