The problem, with CVS, is that when you add something new on a branch,
it is considered as head and thus shows up in the main trunk and in
the Changelog.

Branches *are* badly broken in CVS.  This is why I usually use PRCS,
but unfortunately it doesn't support remote opertions and isn't
supported by SourceForge.

Has anyone investigated the newer Subversion free project replacement
for CVS?  Does it support branches as well as PRCS?
