If you compare against
http://ww2.fs.ei.tum.de/~corecode/hg/cvs20hg/
Both of them are almost the same. But I don't know how the branch
are supposed to work. It's possible to give -t [tag] parameter,
but in that case you must to know which branch are you looking
for. But it doesn't seem to have automatic branch detection and
do the job for every branch.

But it seems you synced manually for that branch or probably I'm missing
something.

May you give more details about the problems you are having with
FreeBSD's branches?
