In fact, if you really want to be advanced, and not deal with the
slowdown on merged files that haven't been modified by you on the branch,
but have been on the merge (This is hard to explain. If you merge from
the head, and commit the result, it makes a new revision in the file,
even if you haven't made changes on the branch. This eventually makes
accessing the branch *quite* slow), you can just move the branch tags on
the files you haven't modified on the branch, so that they refer to the
new mainline revision.
Sounds more difficult complex than it is.
You don't happen to have a script? (Yes, for long lived branches things
do start to get slow). The other option is to fix CVS I guess.
