Right _you_ would have to have _one_ modified source tree in parallel if _you_ would want to do this. These so called modern VCS force you to do so. Also, with svn etc. you have the whole history bloating and polluting your checkout (Now try recursively grepping a deep source-tree with a long history.

How is that a problem with CVS? With CVS you typically work on a checkout, so it's up to you how to handle mergers.
