I have a working copy with the gnus-5_10-branch (up to date) and two
quite big patches (KY.patch and SJ.patch) that should be applied to
the branch.  (At a later time, I want to be able to identify those
changes.)  Is the following procedure correct (and reasonable)?

  cd /path/to/gnus-5_10-branch
  cvs update

  cvs tag "gnus-5_10-pre-KY"
  patch < KY.patch
  cvs commit -m "Merge KY changes"
  cvs tag "gnus-5_10-post-KY"

  cvs tag "gnus-5_10-pre-SJ"
  patch < SJ.patch
  cvs commit -m "Merge SJ changes"
  cvs tag "gnus-5_10-post-SJ"

Bye, Reiner.
