 I can't conceive of how I would have gotten on a branch
 as the only CVS commands I've ever used are:
 
     CVSROOT=anoncvs@anoncvs.NetBSD.org:/cvsroot ; export CVSROOT
     CVS_RSH=ssh ; export CVS_RSH
     cd /usr
     cvs -q checkout -P pkgsrc
 and:
     cvs update
 
 but that seems to have brought down 'patch-ag'.

 I'm not unwilling, but
    a) I have no idea how to do that, and
    b) the only possible platform I could test it on is i386.
