If you "forgot" to set up a branch before you embarked on hacking then
you simply have to set up the branch after the fact, check it out in a
new working directory, and copy your hacks over there.
However if you know you want to do development on private branches then
that's what you should be doing *all* of the time. Check-ins on your
private branch(es) are "free"! :-)

Doing that in the "CVS way" is already documented in the manual I
think.....
You simply check in your changes first (from the branch working
directory where you've made them) and then go merge them to the parent
branch (in a parent working directory).
