See the thread (note that what I proposed is different to what the GDB
group agreed to :-):
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2001-03/msg00024.html
The GDB group no longer include version numbers in the trunk, instead
the it only contains a date stamp. The branch follows the x.x.90
convention (but appends a date stamp for good measure).
enjoy,
Andrew
