The only sane things to check out apart from HEAD are normally the
STABLE branches. For release m.n those are always called RELm_n_STABLE.
You can also get the tag set for a specific release. Those are called
RELm_n_o for m.n.o releases.
If you look at the output for "cvs log configure.in" you can see near
the top a list of tag sets under the heading "symbolic names".

For example, how can I list all the branches for postgresql 8.3 (and
8.4)? Now I can checkout code using:
cvs -z3 -d
:pserver:anoncvs:passw...@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot co
-P pgsql
But I don't know when version it is, and I want get code from some
postgresql 8.3 and 8.4 branches but I don't know the their cvsroot
Thanks

Hi Andrew,
Could you please give a little more detail how I can find
different CVS branches?
Thanks,

Hi,
I am trying to checkout code from different branches (such
as 8.3, 8.4).
I found a few ways to checkout code from CVS:
1. webCVS: http://anoncvs.postgresql.org/cvsweb.cgi/
2. cvs -z3 -d
:pserver:anoncvs:passw...@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/cvsroot
co -P pgsql
3. $ rsync --progress -avzCH --delete
anoncvs.postgresql.org::pgsql-cvs $CVSROOT
However, how can I checkout code from different branches
(such as 8.3, 8.4)?
CVS is documented here, among other places:
<http://ximbiot.com/cvs/manual/cvs-1.11.20/cvs.html>
To check out a particular branch such as REL8_4_STABLE, use
the -r option on the checkout command:
cvs checkout -r branchname
cheers
