`cvs -j' seems to be more braindamaged than I thought.  The following
seems to be necessary to stop it merging null Id differences for module
`papers':

	cvs -q co     -kk -r RELENG_2_2         papers
	cvs -q update                   -j HEAD papers

I would have expected:

	cvs -q update -kk -j RELENG_2_2 -j HEAD papers

to not merge the null differences.

	cvs -q rdiff  -kk -r RELENG_2_2 -r HEAD papers | patch -p3

works right.
