Looking at the branch/point tags:

         gdb_5_1-2001-07-29-branch: 1.20.0.4
         gdb_5_1-2001-07-29-branchpoint: 1.20

         gdb_5_1_1-2002-01-24-release: 1.20

GDB's releases are drawn from a branch.  After the branch was cut a 
number of changes on the trunk were made but never on the branch.

See if you can find a tool for browsing CVS branches (tkcvs on 
sourceforge?, others?).  It makes life a lot easier.

enjoy,
Andrew
