Question about merging differences between revisions from main trunk to branch |

I'm probably not RTFM'ing hard enough, but I can't seem to figure this out.
I know, or at least it is my understanding, that I can merge the
differences between two revisions (by rev number, not by tag) from a branch
to the main trunk fairly easily like so (assuming my working directory is a
checked out module from the main trunk):
address@hidden main_co_files]$ cvs update -r BRANCHNAME -j 1.1 -j 1.2
index.php
My question is, what if I'm currently in the BRANCH, and want to merge the
differences from the main trunk. If I do this:
address@hidden branch_co_files]$ cvs update -j 1.1 -j 1.2 index.php
It will merge the changes between these files on the BRANCH, not from the
main trunk.
I can work around this problem if I had the foresight to give both
revisions symbolic tagnames, but I don't know how to do it if I just have
the rev numbers.
I guess my question is, is there a default BRANCH tag for the main
trunk? HEAD seems to refer specifically to the latest revision on the main
trunk, not the entire trunk itself.
Am I missing something really obvious, or do I need to go back and read the
manually more carefully? Any help, pointers, or flames are welcome.
