Great, glad to hear I'm on track. Could you tell me exactly what you type to create the merge tags on the mainline and to update your branch to reflect the changes between two mainline merge tags? (And whatever words of wisdom you have on the subject of, when you use cvs rtag to create a tag, what branch(es?) that tags applies to, would be greatly appreciated.) I like your -merge nomenclature better than my -tag nomenclature, too: everything that I do with rtag is a tag, after all, so -tag isn't very meaningful... And, given that I'm probably temperamentally suited to relatively frequent merges, I'll want to take Kevin's advice and delete merge tags that I haven't used for a while.
