You got bit by the fine print. The default cvs checkout gets you
"trunk", which is the development version. That is why it shows up as
"pre-2.3" - it is the version that will eventually become version 2.3.
(The ';' comment delimiter is only one of many new features in 2.3)
I should have pointed you at this wiki page:
http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/emcinfo.pl?CVS
It tells you how to tell cvs to check out a specific version or branch.
I think the command you want is:
cvs -z5 -d:ext:a...@cvs.linuxcnc.org:/cvs co -rRELEASE_2_2_8 -demc2.2.8
emc2
The -d option sets the directory that the checkout will be placed in,
you can make it anything you want. The -r option tells CVS what version
to get.
