<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 (Oct 2004), the trunk is the Mesa 6.3 development code
while the mesa_6_2_branch branch has the stable Mesa 6.2.x code.
</p>

<p>
Mesa releases use an even/odd numbering scheme to represent stable/development
releases.

For example, Mesa 6.2 (0 is considered even) is a stable release while
Mesa 6.3 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_6_2_branch Mesa</code> will
checkout the 6.2 branch and <code>cvs update -r
mesa_6_2_branch</code> will convert your current CVS tree to the 6.2
branch.

Consult <a href="http://www.durak.org/cvswebsites/doc/cvs_5.php3#SEC54"

for more on branching in CVS.
</p>

<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

        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.
