cvs branch tag performance - fix offering

[Adrian West]

Hi,

I  have a fairly large project being managed with cvs very successfully 
(thanks).
A problem has been the performance of branch tag creation, which was 
taking half an hour or more.

I have a fix for this now. It's not expecially elegant, and will only 
affect large projects using lots of symbols, so submitting it directly 
may not be appropriate. It if for 11.14, which is what we happen to be 
using at the moment.

If it will help you the details, and some analysis of our last few 
months operation with it are at:
