Please explain why not. Your previous message said the problem results from use of arch. Are you now saying that a similar problem happens when CVS is used to merge one branch into another? If so, please describe the scenario and the problem. Remember that we are talking about merging the unicode-2 branch into the trunk. If somebody has a concrete suggestion, by all means give it. I've made one (adding CVS tags to allow doing the the necessary "indirection" without worrying about arch), which I think is imperfect, but certainly a workable solution. I do not understand what that means. I am not an expert on CVS. Please explain to me the solution you proposed, and what problem it is supposed to solve.
