If you create the branch with 'cvs rtag -r_some-other-tag -b branch-foo module'
you can move your working dir onto the branch with 'cvs up -r branch-foo', and
your local mods will now be commited on the branch. NOTE: you may also want to
rename your working dir to reflect the fact that you're on a branch to avoid
confusion.
