What I normally do is to do a separate checkout for the branch I want to
patch. In this case, a cvs log on /HISTORY shows it as:
REL7_3_STABLE: 1.182.0.2
You know it is a branch rather than a tag because it has four numbers.
(The developers FAQ has stuff on this.) I then make changes to that
CVS, and do a commit while sitting in that CVS tree. I applies the
changes against that branch only.
I usually get a cvs diff from the HEAD tree, and apply that patch file
against the branch. Let me know if you would like me to do it.
