If you checked out your tree using:
cvs co jakarta-struts
then you checked out the main trunk, which is currently Struts 1.1 (or at
least post-1.0). When you do a checkin in that tree, it will go back into
the main trunk.
You can check out a branch using:
cvs co -rSTRUTS_1_0_BRANCH jakarta-struts
and then checkins from that tree will go into the branch.
You can check to see if you checked out a file in a branch by using:
cvs status <filename>
and looking at the "Sticky Tag" line. It will either say "(none)", which
means you are on the main trunk, or something like "STRUTS_1_0_BRANCH" if
you are on a branch.
You can see what branches are available by using:
cvs status -v <filename>
which will list all of the existing tags (for that file, but they will
usually be per-project anyway).
If you are using Windows, and use WinCVS, you can also use the Graph
command, which will show you a graphical version of the log, with labels
attached at branch and label points.
