Hi, please excuse some basic questions about CVS best practice:

In this case yes. In general, if there are merging conflicts, I would 
have to dig around in reject logs, right? (Or do a fresh checkout and 
repatch.)
Also, since with this workflow I'd have the patched latest version only, 
what is the most convenient way to create the patch diff? Do you 
maintain two checkouts, an unpatched one to base on?
