v1-2-0 is probably not a branch, but a tag;  so (unless the tags are  
moved), it would never change.  It is probably exactly equivalent to  
v1.2.0.

If you already have v1.2.0, cvs update -r v1-2-0 should do nothing.

It's there to document exactly what v1.2.0 is; similarly, v1-2-1 will  
document v1.2.1, etc.
