 The lwIP TCP/IP stack is maintained in the 'lwip' CVS module and
 contributions (such as platform ports) are in the 'contrib' module.
 
-The CVS main trunk is the stable branch, which contains bug fixes and
-tested features. The latest stable branch can be checked out by doing:
-  cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip login
-  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip co lwip

-The 'STABLE' tag in the stable branch will represent the most stable
-revision (which may be somewhat older to protect us from errors
-introduced by merges). This 'STABLE' tagged version can be checked out
-by doing:
-  cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip login
-  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip co -r STABLE lwip

-The 'DEVEL' branch is the active development branch, which contains
-bleeding edge changes, and may be instable. It can be checkout by doing:
-  cvs -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip login
-  cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anoncvs@subversions.gnu.org:/cvsroot/lwip co -r DEVEL lwip
