Right but we're talking at cross-purposes.  What I mean is, are we using
these now with the fedora-extras and fedora-core dist-cvs?  If so, what
are the commands you're running to do that?

Although we talk about branches with dist-cvs, there's no cvs branches
in the repository that I'm aware of.  So I'm wondering if Karel has some
commands that he's using now or if this is a "If we use real branches in
the next SCM, it'll give us the ability to do operation Xyz in a better
way."
