So to check out the branch code we do

cvs co -b grassreleasebranch_5_0_0

or something like that?

Would it be best to commit bugfixes only to the release branch and then
merge the branches back into the "main" tree? Or is having developers
commit bugfixes to both the release branch and "main" tree better?
 
Now to identify bugs we would like to see fixed. Should we start with
the ones that have RC status in the BUGS file?
