This should probably be a FAQ.

What is the recommended method for preserving local edits in the
source tree?

For example, I changed "/usr/src/lkm/syscons/snake/snake_saver.c"
to make the crawling banner identify the machine and it's use.
Keeps the operators amused and is better than a PostIt note.  But now,
each time I CVSup, I have to remember to check out my modified version
from the RCS file I created as part of the edit process.

Enough folks must have this issue that there should be a process.
How do y'all deal with it?  Create a ".cvsignore" file in the
directory?  Keep your own CVS repository and check in your changes
there?
