My solution to this whole escapade would be as follows. Be warned though,
it's a bit of a hack.
1. Populate the tree with all the Linux kernel versions you have. In
the correct order. So all the patch relationships and whatever are
there correctly.
So now what happens when an intermediate version comes along?
Easy.
2. Destroy the CVS tree. Recreate it from scratch using the brand new
set of sources you have. In order.
I don't think this would be hard to put togther. You'd obviously need
to mirror all the sources on your system in "normal" form, and have some
funky scripts to put them all into CVS again in order. Fairly simple.
Yes, it's a complete hack. But it will work. I think.
Tris.
