Whatever works for you. I prepare changes directly in a checked out cvs
module (= my local working) copy, and only need to commit when everything
is ready.

It's a script for importing src.rpm packages.

One section in the Wiki says that the script can only create new modules
in the devel tree. It cannot create new branches like FC-4 or FC-3. Once
these branch directories exist, the script can import a src.rpm just fine.
