"A picture paints a thousand words" (David Gates of Bread)

Because of my CVS experience, AND the help from you folks, I understand
now WHY CVS does its branching. But I have to explain this to my users,
and some of them are a lot less experienced than I am with the tool. So
when they're looking at a GUI tool like tkCVS and don't see "physially"
see that branchY does branch from branchX like I told them it does,
it's hard for me to explain say "Well it does!" Some of these folks are
from Missouri so they say "Show me!" and a picture would be the perfect
answer to this, regardless of version numbers.

Why?  The process you describe will work just fine with CVS.  In fact,
it's a fairly popular process.  Just ignore the actual revision numbers
(which you should be doing anyway) and everything will be fine.
