Actually a better reference and getting-started document is the info
documentation of cvs. try 'info cvs'

(I normally read info pages with pinfo, as the default info browser is
really bad. The info pages browser of emacs is also rather useful. Both
KDE and Gnome have their own info prosers. Try something like info:cvs).

The man page of cvs would be rathyer confusing until you understand one
or two things about how it works. 

Also note that the OP asked about a certain date from the branch v1-0 ,
rather than of the default branch (HEAD).
