Projects that branch on release (and maintain a long-lived stable branch following the release) often use a floating MERGED branch to keep track of what bugfixes have been merged back into HEAD. This practice, broken as it is, is the recommended approach AFAIK.

It would be a good thing to be able to tell cvsps to ignore certain tags (by name or by regex).
