What is not working well ? I didn't have any problem until this problem 
arrises.

That is not the way a version control system should work I think. If there
is no way to do it with a vendor like import the only thing left is commiting
the vendor changes as local changes on the MySoftBasedOn_2x branch. That will
work but there is no easy way to distinguish vendor changes and local changes
in that case (and I like the easy merging). There must be a better solution, 
cvs has not dissapointed me until now..

Cheers,
