<H1>CVS Branch Information</H1>
<p>
At any given time, there may be several active branches in Mesa's
CVS repository.
Generally, the CVS trunk contains the latest development (unstable)
code while a CVS branch has the latest stable code.
</p>
<p>
Currently (Nov 2003), the trunk is the Mesa 5.1 development code
while the mesa_5_0_branch branch has the stable Mesa 5.0.x code.
</p>
<p>
Mesa releases use an even/odd numbering scheme to represent stable/development
releases.
For example, Mesa 5.0.x (0 is considered even) is a stable release while
Mesa 5.1.x is a development release.
</p>
<p>
To checkout a specific CVS branch pass <code>-r</code> and
the branch tag after your CVS command.
For example <code>cvs checkout -r mesa_5_0_branch Mesa</code> will
checkout the 5.0.x branch and <code>cvs update -r
mesa_5_0_branch</code> will convert your current CVS tree to the 5.0.x
branch.

<p>
To see a list of all the CVS branches run <code>cvs log README</code> (or any
other file) and look for the section labeled <code>symbolic names</code>.
You'll see something like this:
</p>
<pre> symbolic names:
mesa_4_0: 1.3
mesa_4_0_branch: 1.3.0.6
mesa_3_5: 1.3
mesa_3_4_2: 1.3
mesa_3_4_1: 1.3
mesa_3_4: 1.3
mesa_3_4_branch: 1.3.0.4
mesa_3_3: 1.3
mesa_3_2_1: 1.1.1.1
mesa_3_3_texture_env_combine2: 1.3.0.2
mesa_3_2: 1.1.1.1
mesa_3_2_beta_1: 1.1.1.1
mesa_3_1: 1.1.1.1
mesa_3_2_dev: 1.1.1.1.0.2
mesa_3_1_beta_3: 1.1.1.1
start: 1.1.1.1
mesa: 1.1.1
</pre>
<p>
Most will be obsolete branches. Generally, the newer branches are at
the top. Ask on the mesa3d-dev mailing list to learn which branches
are active.
