[PATCH] cvsserver: fix legacy cvs client and branch rev issues

Early cvs clients don't cause state->{args} to be initialised,
so force this to occur.
Some revision checking code assumes that revisions will be
recognisably numeric to perl, Branches are not, because they
have more decimal points (eg 1.2.3.4 instead of just 1.2).
