what is the patchset? It IS possible to set up a branch on your mirrored cvs repository using some magic branch numbers. john Polstra ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) would be the person to ask if it can be done with a branch off a branch... (a magic branch off the 4.x branch)
You may also be able to use P4 to import the 4.x branch into p4 and keep branch off that..
