Switching to a branch

Quite often I will start coding a feature on our trunk (AKA HEAD) and after 
starting to change the code realize that I probably want to do this on a 
branch. This is fairly easy to do, I simply create the branch with something 
like:

cvs rtag forkName all
cvs rtag -b branchName -r forkName all

Then from my modified workspace I morph it into the created branch:

cvs up -r branchName

The problem I'm having is that any file that has been added previously is not 
morphed over to the branch but remains "added" to the trunk.

To fix this, I've gone into the CVS/Entries file and appended the branch tag to 
the added file entries (don't try this without parental supervision kids).

Is there a better way?
