Hmmm. CVS seems to keep doing strange things to my kernel tree. Whether that's my fault or not I don't know, but I'm dis-inclined to experiment as a simple checkin after a patch really clobbers the disk. Rebuilding even a small tree is pretty horrific. I'm looking seriously at doing something with this PRCS tarball I've got sitting around.
I know Alan and Andrea use CVS (at least I think they both do), and I think Dave Miller maintains the vger tree used for the sparc* ports; perhaps they could be tempted to describe how they have it set up, how they apply patches (I wrote a quick perl script to spot new / removed files), what branches they use, etc. Such a description could go in the lkml FAQ, or in linux/Documentation, or both.
