Couldn't you just check the existing symbolic name on the given branch
ID (implying 1.1.1 - or better yet: the default branch) and let CVS barf
on it if it doesn't match the given vendor branch name? AFAICT this info
is right at the top of the RCS file, e.g:
head 1.1;
branch 1.1.1; <<<< imply this if no explicit branch ID given
access;
symbols
arelease1:1.1.1.1
testvendor:1.1.1; <<<< lookup name here
locks; strict;
comment @# @;
I.e.:
1) receive "cvs import mymodule theothervendor_branch release1"
2) get default branch id, e.g. 1.1.1
3) lookup symbolic name for determined branch id
(there should be only one), e.g. thevendor_branch
4) complain
or:
1) receive "cvs import -b1.1.3 mymodule theothervendor_branch release2"
2) lookup symbolic name for given branch id 1.1.3,
e.g. theothervendor_branch
3) proceed

Thought so. ;)
