Excuse my typo (that's what I get for retyping instead of screen capture). The branch name should appear as cvs-branch, not as a copy of the cvs-readonly tag. git lets you have both tags and branches with the same name, because you can disambiguate the namespace by using the longer name refs/tags/cvs-readonly or refs/heads/cvs-readonly, but sharing names like that is confusing and not necessarily recommended. -- Eric Blake
