Roger,
the procedure to get the latest code is as follows:
cvs -z3 co -r releasebranch_11_april_2001_5_0_0 grass
Eventually you run
cd grass
cvs up -dP
To be very sure to have the latest code.
I have send a mail to Intevation to update their CVS page yesterday
which doesn't talk about the branch tag (yet).
The tags are explained here:
http://grass.itc.it/grasscvs.html
If you later want to update, simply run
cvs up -dP
To check to have the releasebranch_11_april_2001_5_0_0, run
cat CVS/Entries
There you will find releasebranch_11_april_2001_5_0_0 mentioned
at end of every line.
Hope this helps,
Markus
