Ooops, I think I'm too fast;-)
I have just finished adding '.trunk' as a trunk-branch substitution, 'cause I 
happened to note that this fits perfectly into my patch.
I have already used the above mentioned splitting - so now '.prev' might even 
be added more than once and works perfectly well:-)

I currently have added this:

If tags with '@' at the begining are used they're added in the cvsnt way (I 
remember I wrote cvsnt wouldn't cache them but I was wrong).
If the .commitid is used, they're cached as '.commitid.xxx', but this could be 
changed as you suggested.

I'll post my patch after some more cleanups ... soon;-)
