They will be ignored on import, so you don't have to remove them. Just use

cvs -d [your cvsroot here] import bugzilla whatever tag

I've been using the setup you've been talking about for quite some time. It 
works fine, but do take my word for this: You will want to be well 
proficient with the interesting "features" of vendor branches before 
getting involved with your first upgrade and merge.

There is the alternative of using a normal branch instead of a vendor one. 
You lose something but you also gain something. Picking the correct 
solution depends on how much you're going to customize, how long can you 
stay in a state of freeze when upgrading your BZ and how good a conflict 
solver you are ;-) Read

ideas.
