Barry,
  After the merge of the documentation, I'm not sure I agree.  The
problem is with multiple merges, which seems to make more sense for
parallel development branches, and not for single-merge situations (as
for the documentation) or one branch being just critical bug fixes (as
Greg is suggesting).  In the bug-fix-only branch, you're typically
migrating a specific patch into the tree from the development tree:
just make the change and check it in.  This may be a very reasonable
approach even with the limited support for branches in CVS.
