Sounds like it.

Yup, I belive this approach should be avoided for anything but a really major
restructuring of the linuxtv.org cvs (feature development in mind), but even
that probably should be handled with merging in a 'virtual' tree into the main
cvs, at least when the 'virtual' tree is what is expected to be common use
within relativly short time timespan.
