If you mark the CVS files with `cvs admin -kb', then it won't mangle the revision nmbers.
Personally I don't use CVS for the kernel tree because it's so slow. I maintain local patches, undo them before upgrading from Linus, then reapply the patches. I use `gendiff' to maintain the patches, and meaningful backup file names.
