As Patrice said, if it's text, add it to cvs directly (which it
appears was already done a few weeks ago).

You're talking about mercurial-site-start.el, right?  It's already
checked directly into CVS, as it should be.  It's a text file and
doesn't have any reason to be added to sources.  The sources file is
for files that aren't suitable to check into cvs directly.

When you update that file and commit the changes to CVS on one branch,
you can simply copy the file to another branch and use cvs to commit
it there as well.
