This is wrong.  The stuff in the revisions labelled with the
"branch_n" tag is included in the merge.

What's excluded is the changes in the "branch_n-1"-labelled
revisions.  But that's what one wants; they were merged last
time, having been included in the:
        cvs update -j branch_n-2 -j branch_n-1
merge.

necessarily a good idea.
