Better solution is to use FreeBSD's patches for CVS to support custom
revision tags. This solves this problem nicely by allowing several
maintainers to have their own revision tags in same source code.
For examples snippet from /usr/src/crypto/openssh/ssh-agent.c
RCSID("$OpenBSD: ssh-agent.c,v 1.97 2002/06/24 14:55:38 markus Exp $");
RCSID("$FreeBSD: src/crypto/openssh/ssh-agent.c,v 1.2.2.8 2002/07/03 22:11:43 des Exp
$");
