No, this is something completely different.....  This will put it on the 
VENDOR branch for merging into HEAD.  It will be generally inaccessable to 
the users.  Any new files will appear on the HEAD revision.

If you really want to do it this way, it's done by branching the kernel 
and putting your files in there.  When people do an 'cvs update -r 
branchtag' they will no longer see changes in -current and only the new 
scsi system.
