Re: more gnome 2 proposal

[Benjamin Kahn <xkahn ximian com>]

You have probably already recieved answers for this question, but the
way to list branches in CVS is:

$ cvs status -v [filename]

where [filename] can be any reasonable old file.  I usually use
autogen.sh as the file.  Some example output for gal:

$ cvs status -v autogen.sh 
===================================================================
File: autogen.sh       	Status: Up-to-date

   Working revision:	1.1
   Repository revision:	1.1	/cvs/gnome/gal/autogen.sh,v
   Sticky Tag:		(none)
   Sticky Date:		(none)
   Sticky Options:	(none)

   Existing Tags:
	e-tree-rework-branch     	(branch: 1.1.4)
	E_TREE_REWORK_BASE       	(revision: 1.1)
	GAL_0_5                  	(revision: 1.1)
	LWE_2001_01              	(revision: 1.1)
	GAL_0_4_99_6             	(revision: 1.1)
	GAL_0_4_1                	(revision: 1.1)
	GAL_0_4                  	(revision: 1.1)
	GAL_0_3                  	(revision: 1.1)
	GAL_0_2_2                	(revision: 1.1)
	GAL_0_2_1                	(revision: 1.1)
	GAL_0_2                  	(revision: 1.1)
	gal-0-02-branch          	(branch: 1.1.6)
	GNOME_PRINT_0_24         	(revision: 1.1)
	gal-e-table-config       	(branch: 1.1.2)

I hope this helped.  (Oh, and I agree.  Branch and tag names should be
kept in sync, but that doesn't mean packages shouldn't ALSO have their
own tag and branch names like the ones shown above.)
