"Branch" vs "mainline" ? [was Re: Ada bugs]

This message confuses me totally. As far as the Ada portion of GCC is
concerned, it seems to exist +only+ on the 3.1-pre branch. It was
released to late by a day to make the 3.0.4 [mainline ?] release.

So where is the "mainline" code to be merged into the "branch"?

Or do I totally mis-understand the CVS structure and vernacular ?

I want to help w/ gcc-Ada, have been waiting for years for a chance to
make changes and get them used, but I can't start until I can understand
the working environment here.

Help !!!
