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@localhost:/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.
