return type: object of type VCS::LibCVS::FileBranch

Return the specified branch, or undef if there is no such branch. The branch can be specified by a name, a branch revision number, or a Branch.

$files_rev = $cvs_file->get_revision($tag_or_revision)

argument 1 type: scalar string
return type: VCS::LibCVS::FileRevision

Returns the revision of the file specified by the named tag or revision number, or raises an error if there is no such tag or revision.

The BASE tag is not supported, since this is a repository object with no knowledge of the working directory. The WorkingFile object will provide the necessary information.
