I have a major change I want to make in my source tree, but I don't
want to interfere with normal system development, so I created a
branch called new-feature, by doing:

   cvs tag -b new-feature

in a working directory.

Now, I want to merge in changes that have occurred on the main
branch, so I can do something like:

   cvs update -j HEAD

for example, in the same working directory

The question is, what do I do the next time?

It looks to me like I need in general to tag the main branch before
each merge so that I have a reference point for future merges on the
branch.  Is this the case?  It seems kind of ugly...  Are there any
cleaner alternatives?

Thanks,
