Maybe you could set up your own CVS server locally on your computer (it's 
quite easy to do), and have it mirrored VTK, i.e. you would control when 
you want to update your VTK-local to incorporate the changes made in the 
real VTK, while you could put as many tags as you want on your own CVS 
server. At the end of your project, you would commit files back from 
VTK-local to VTK (I think you'd need some sort of gateway between those 
two, but if you have to write some script anyway...).
