cvs -rHEAD -D'19 May 2001'
Theoretically both a branch and a date are required because it's quite common
to have two or more branches with active files on them. I'm surprised CVS
didn't implicitly do the '-rHEAD' thing to select the right branch, but not
terribly surprised. The specific case of raw.h mentioned in IRC is one I'll
be looking at more closely...
