If you want to work on Tomcat 3.2.x, The branch itself is "tomcat_32" --
all the other tags are labels of specific releases. Just do a checkout
using the "tomcat_32" branch and CVS will set a sticky tag on every file
so that you will pull the latest version of each file from that branch.
For Tomcat 3.3, you would use the HEAD (default) branch of this
repository.
For Tomcat 4.0, you would use the "jakarta-tomcat-4.0" repository (HEAD
branch).
