Just to clarify:
repositoryRevision gets the most recent revision committed to the /whole 
repository/ (like the "Last Changed Rev" in 'svn info'). So if I am 
understanding you correctly, there is no such thing in CVS. Note that 
repositoryRevision does *not* take a repo path. I think you would use 
log() to get the information you are talking about.

Anyway, thanks for the info!
