Matt,
Gentoo doesn't use cvs tree's in the way that (for example) I know OpenBSD
does. Generally there is no use of branches at all, everything is in HEAD.
(Someone please correct me if I'm wrong).
The stable/unstable stuff is done using keywords in portage, rather than
handled using tags in CVS. The reason being that only developers use CVS so
the branches would be irrelevant to the users, they'd just get whatever
branch the rsync mirrors were "tuned to".
The gentoo system is one big lump (no offense intended) rather than one
quick moving lump (HEAD) and a slow moving one (1_4_STABLE) al la obsd.
I hope that clarifies/helps.
Regards,
Rob
