If you're trying to do it with multiple branches simultaneously you're 
really asking for trouble... checking out multple branches is good in a 
limited number of circumstances - yours doesn't sound like one of them 
to me.. you're trying to do all the tracking that CVS does automatically 
by yourself, and creating problems in the process.

In this case I suggest CVS isn't the tool you should be using.  I'm not 
sure what is - no version control tool I'm aware of works in that manner.
