I may be wrong but I don't see any such a tag in the CVS repository. Thanks in advance telling me what are my options.
I think perhaps you're attributing to newlib more of a release process
than actually exists. As far as I know, Jeff simply makes a release
around December every year, without particular regard for judgement of
stability -- obviously with some sanity checks that it builds and
functions for common targets I presume.
Regardless, I see CVS tags newlib-1_15_0, newlib-1_14_0, newlib-1_13_0,
newlib-1_12_0, etc. so you should be able to check out any of these.

The link works fine for me right now. But sourceware.org (aka
sources.redhat.com aka gcc.gnu.org aka cygwin.com) is mirrored to a
number of places so you should be able to use any of the listed mirrors:
