That would work yes, but you know what would also work.. CVS, dead in a ditch, it simply should not be able to create the kind of inconsistency it did for me, that was clearly a CVS bug. I have not worked with CVS before starting as a Fedora contributor, the fact that following the guide to the letter can occasionally cause CVS errors like what I got (it appeared to not transfer the files completely but I was not allowed to check the files back in - the quick fix was merely to bump the build) - well it does tend to frighten me.

A way to aviod problems like these is to keep the same revision number
part before dist tag when using the same source package, and only
increase the part of revision after the dist tag when doing change that
applies to a branch.
That way you'll do (example):
f8 | f9
-----------------
-1.fc8 < -1.fc9 (Initial build of same package on branch and trunk)
-1.fc8.1 < -1.fc9 (Made a change on branch)
-1.fc8.1 < -2.fc9 (Imported new trunk)
-2.fc8 < -2.fc9 (Merged the trunk into branch)
-2.fc8.1 < -2.fc9 (And do another branch change)
Without breaking upgrade path at any point in time.
