Not sure what to call that version. :) > Oh, it calls itself 22.1.50. Sorry, next time I'll be more clear. Every branch has a HEAD. The "nameless" branch in CVS (which can be selected via "update -A" or sometimes with "update -r 1") is called the "trunk". There's been patches floating around to make `cvs' accept the special tag TRUNK to refer to the trunk, but I don't know if these will ever be included (just like the patches that add a special ".BASE" suffix to select the base of a branch).
