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.
