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:password@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:password@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
