I think that the following three cases need to be supported.
 * source code was checked out specifying non-branch tag
   (cvs co -r TAG)
 * source code was checked out specifying branch and date
   (cvs co -r BRANCH -D DATE)
 * source code was checked out specifying date
   (cvs co -D DATE)

I think that specifying the check-out option of CVS directly as follows
is simple and easy to implement.

htags --cvs-checkout-option="-r TAG"
htags --cvs-checkout-option="-r BRANCH -D DATE"
htags --cvs-checkout-option="-D DATE"
