If you used bitkeeper you could do the branch with history without doing any
special commands. You could sync it to the trunk every day automatically unless
there is a merge conflict. It would track file renames in the history and do
merges that track the file renames. Plus bkbits provides a transparent bridge to
CVS for people that stick with it.

Just my occasional plug for bitkeeper. After using it on the kernel I have
concluded that it is way better than CVS. Just my opinion, I have nothing to do
with the company.
