On a related note, it would be nice if there were a way to tell cvs "ignore the -z flag for files that match this pattern". I've noticed major CPU wastage compressing virtually non-compressable documents for transmission (e.g., image files). Or is this already possible and I'm just ignorant? --

The suggested model is the one I usually use and recommend. You will still need Nestor's merge method to avoid conflicts when you merge to the trunk a second and subsequent times. The extra tagging isn't a bad idea, anyhow - it makes it easier to back out changes if you ever make mistakes, too.
