The way you do this normally is to commit commit commit, and when
you make a release/prerelease, do a cvs tag, which will tag the
revisions in your current working directory.  When you code freeze
for a release, make a branch.

edit some files
cvs commit
cvs tag -bR releng_x_y
commit some stuff for release
cvs commit -r releng_x_y
cvs tag -R release_x_y_pre1
fix bugs
cvs commit -r releng_x_y
cvs tag -R release_x_y_pre2
happy?
build release tarballs.
cvs tag -R release_x_y

Vendor branches don't give you good commit history.
