Here are some example cvs commands to discuss.
(Obviously, you'd want more descriptive log messages, and you might want a
different naming scheme for the tags. The 2 "cvs tag" operations aren't
strictly necessary, just for convenience in locating local modifications.)


cd <dir containing just the wanted files from popt 1.6.4>
cvs import -m. rsync/popt IMPORT POPT-1_6_4

cd <dir containing just the wanted files from popt 1.7>
cvs import -m. rsync/popt IMPORT POPT-1_7

cd <somewhere else>
cvs checkout rsync
cd rsync/popt
cvs tag popt-1_6_4-merged
cvs update -jPOPT_1_6_4 -jPOPT_1_7
# Manually check you are happy with the merge
cvs commit -m.
cvs tag popt-1_7-merged
