This works...
cvs -d /usr/local/cvs rlog -S -h -r1.52 cvsnt
..correctly produces only files with a revision 1.52
The -R option bypasses all the checks, which seems to be the way it
was written, although 1.11.2 has implemented it, and it doesn't look
too hard.

This works too...
cvs -d /usr/local/cvs rlog -S -N -r1.52 cvsnt

Neither version of cvs really supports symbolic tags with the -r
option.. they throw up a lot of warnings. cvsnt treats the errors
differently (which leads to a slight difference in output).
I'll make them behave the same in the next release.
