Generally there is no use of branches at all, everything is in HEAD.=20 (Someone please correct me if I'm wrong). The stable/unstable stuff is done using keywords in portage, rather than=20 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=20 branch the rsync mirrors were "tuned to". The gentoo system is one big lump (no offense intended) rather than one=20 quick moving lump (HEAD) and a slow moving one (1_4_STABLE) al la obsd. I hope that clarifies/helps.
