Sir,
  What you are seeing is two different development trees.

One is for glibc 2.0, the other for glibc 2.1

Generally, if you see something like glibc-XXXX-2.0.Y, where Y is
a single digit, that is a release for glibc 2.0.  If you see something
like glibc-XXXX-2.0.YYY where YYY is two or three digits, that is a test
release for glibc 2.1.  

Also note, 2.0 has been released.  I believe that the current version is
2.0.6, which can be found at ftp.gnu.org.  There are development releases
in the form glibc-2.0.YpreN at alpha.gnu.org.

2.1 has not been released yet, though I can attest it is getting very close.
You can find development copies at alpha.gnu.org.


I apoligize for sending a blank message a few minutes ago.  Slip of the
fingers.
