Although I've used / in CVS branch names to denote hierarchy,
I now agree with you for a different reason.  A CVS repository
can have branches "Hnsel" and "Hnsel/Gretel" at the same time,
which we cannot express it with '/'.

However, this may make CVS tags Hnsel/Gretel and Hnsel-Gretel
clash, so maybe the name mangling should be made somehow
configurable?
