WinCvs is a GUI frontend to CVSNT. If you want command line, use the CVSNT
cvs.exe directly. The manual of the current stable version is here
<http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/>. Check out especially section 6
<http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/Branching-and-merging.html> for general
information on branching and the update command
<http://www.cvsnt.org/manual/html/update.html> (this is what helps you put
your sandbox on a branch). Something like

  cvs up -r myBranch

(Called from within the sandbox directory that you want to put on the
branch.) 

After you moved your sandbox to a branch, that's what WinCvs will be
working on when you open it.
