Dumb question #2:
After having done a number of "imports", is there a simple command to get a
list of vendor and release tags (along with when they were created)?

That might work for release 2, but it wouldn't work for subsequent
releases. It's better to always specify both tags:
cd release1
cvs import -m "Import release 1" product VENDOR PROD1
... time passes ...
cd release2
cvs import -m "Import release 2" product VENDOR PROD2
cd /<workdir>
cvs checkout -j PROD1 -j PROD2 product
cd product
cvs commit -m'merge changes'
Then for the next release you'd use ``-j PROD2 -j PROD3'', etc.
