Hi Mark,

The main branch ( i.e. "cvs co jakrata-tomcat" - without a -r ) is the
development version.
Each tag marks a release point.
For each stable release ( 3.0, 3.1, 3.2 ) there is a branch.
The current "stable" release is 32 ( developed in tomcat_32 branch ),
with the last milestone beeing 322_b2 ( beta 2 ).
If you want the fix to go into the "stable", you should checkout the
tomcat_32 brach ( the current top of the brach is close to/identical
with beta 2 ).
If you want to fix the "development" tree, you should checkout the main
branch.
AFAIK the "stable" branch is frozen, and only major bugs with little
impact on stability should go in. Marc is the release manager, and he must
aprove any fix, given the advanced state of the release.
For the "development" tree, we are aproaching a freeze point ( I hope in
few weeks ).
