three choices:
1) use `cvs import` with a tag you don't care about for the second one,
i.e., 
`cvs import repository vendor-tag I_HadToPutItHereButDontCare1_release-tag`

2) use normal methods, i.e., for the second one checkout from the repo and
copy the changed files on top of the sand box and commit (do any add/removes
as needed). Note that this will get you a bunch of conflicts on the trunk if
you ever use import again.

3) always use normal methods, i.e., from the start do all the cvs
add/remove/tag/commits by hand.
