Hi Andrew and all,

I am still struggling with the branch repositories. I tried to checkout from
branch repositories but got error no such repositories:

$ cvs -z3 -d  
:pserver:anoncvs:passw...@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/REL8_4_STABLE
co -P pgsql
/projects/REL8_4_STABLE: no such repository

$ cvs -z3 -d 
:pserver:anoncvs:passw...@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/projects/REL8_3_STABLE
co -P pgsql
/projects/REL8_3_STABLE: no such repository

$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs:passw...@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/REL8_4_STABLE
co -P pgsql
/REL8_4_STABLE: no such repository

$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anoncvs:passw...@anoncvs.postgresql.org:/REL8_3_STABLE
co -P pgsql
/REL8_3_STABLE: no such repository

What are the correct repositories for these branch? Is there a way I can
list these branch repositories and how?

Many thanks,
M Z
