A merge would pull the plug from that constantly growing
fork problem. Having two CVS repository is much different
from having one repository with a mainline tree and a
crowd of patches against it. A branch and much more a
separate CVS does have the habit to develop much on his
own unless you go the two-side pain (plus the one that
does have the task of merging) of permanently syncing 
them.

Regards Alex.

PS: Why not merge all that stuff in BitKeeper or alikes?
I dont want to say CVS is outdated, but maybe it can have
some advantages if such a merge happens on a new platform.

PS2: sorry if my comments are outdated to that respect...
