+
+<p>
+The Mesa3d sources are split up into two branches. A branch that is to
+remain as stable as possible, and an unstable branch where development
+work for new versions will be done. The current stable branch is
+tagged <code>mesa_3_4_branch</code> while the unstable branch is just
+the default. The goal is to adopt and even/odd stable/unstable
+versioning scheme similar to the Linux kernel. Hence releases of Mesa
+3.2.X should be more stable than Mesa 3.3.X.<p></p> <p>All versions of
+Mesa after 3.0 will also be tagged with a branch id. Mesa 3.1 has the
+tag <code>mesa_3_1</code>, Mesa 3.2 will be <code>mesa_3_2</code>,
+Mesa 3.3 <code>mesa_3_3</code>, etc..</p>
+
+<p>
+To checkout a specific branch of mesa just pass <code>-r</code> and
+the branch tag after your cvs command. For example <code>cvs checkout
+-r mesa_3_4_branch Mesa</code> will checkout the 3.4 branch and
+<code>cvs update -r mesa_3_4_branch</code> will convert your current
+branch to the 3.4 dev branch.
+Consult <a href="http://www.durak.org/cvswebsites/doc/cvs_5.php3#SEC54"
+target="_parent">http://www.durak.org/cvswebsites/doc/cvs_5.php3#SEC54</a>
+for more on branching in cvs.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+To see a list of all the CVS branchs 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:

+
