I don't understand the problems some people seem to have with CVS.
Creating a branch is really simple:

   o create a branch tag, for example:

     cvs tag -b devel_nt386gnu_gcc_opt files(s)

   o update to that branch:

     cvs up -r devel_nt386gnu_gcc_opt files(s)

That's it. The tag is now `sticky' on the files, i.e. remembered
in the CVS/Entries files in your workspace. From now on you're
using the branch for the mentioned files. To restore them to the
latest main trunk version, use

     cvs up -A files(s)

And Jay, as a Windows user you probably don't like to use the cvs
commandline in Cygwin; just install CVS-NT and tortoise (Randy did,
too). It may be more convenient for you.
