[cvsnt] HEAD revision tag unsupported for cvs log command?

[Tony Cleveland]

I am attempting to use this to determine the revisions between a 
particular tag and the head

cvs log -rSOME_TAG::HEAD
cvs log -rSOME_TAG:::HEAD

produces all the versions prior to SOME_TAG but

cvs log -rSOME_TAG:::

produces the expected output

The head tag appears to work correctly in a cvs update -jSOME_TAG -jHEAD 
scenario.
