There is a way around it - for now it requires manual intervention. People 
need to understand that this is a consequence of using the same scripts we 
have for branching internally the fedora core package set. In the FC case, 
once we branch there are no package changes committed to the branch - thus 
the reason why cvs-import can not create new branches.

I realize that for FE this is not the case, and I am working on a solution 
that will allow branches to be created at the cvs-import time.

For now, please use cvs-import to import the new packages and once the 
import is done ask on this list for a branch to be created for your new 
import. We'll wade through this manual process until I adapt the scripts.
