Does this work if you didn't follow the procedure from day zero?
That is, assume that yesterday I built foo-1.2.3 separately in
F-7 and devel branches.  Tomorrow could I build foo-1.2.4 in F-7 only
and have it inherit to F8?  I always thought that was a big no-no.

Also, what about keeping the CVS sources in sync?  The obvious way
of implementing this tactic is to work in the /F-7 directory only,
which would leave /devel not reflecting what you expect to be
shipping in F8, which seems like a really bad idea.
