i dealt with that here (actually, i kept a bz tree and synced it with a
cvs server _and_ a p4 server).

the easiest way to do it is to maintain your code as a patch against the
cvs version. then you can do a cvs update, followed by a patch -p0 and
everything should be happy.

this is a pita though (especially when someone checks in a change that's
whitespace only), but is the only way i found to be manageable.
