Re: CVS checkout source code for different branches

Final, I tried:

$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs:password(at)anoncvs(dot)postgresql(dot)org:/projects/cvsroot
co -r REL8_3_STABLE -P pgsql

Checked file configure.in. Around line 20, there is line:
AC_INIT([PostgreSQL], [8.3.9], [pgsql-bugs(at)postgresql(dot)org])

Not sure that indicates version 8.3.9?

But still, is there a testing/developing version for 8.3? I remember Alvaro
made a patch to contrib/xml2/xpath.c. What is that version? and How can get
this version? Is there a way I can list all branches / versions in CVS
server?
