OpenACS Home : Forums : OpenACS Q&A : cvs HEAD checkout using "openacs-4" when HEAD is actually "OpenACS 5"

Now that HEAD is "OpenACS 5", it's a bit confusing to grab a fresh, full cvs checkout with

cvs -z3 -d :pserver:anonymous@openacs.org:/cvsroot co openacs-4

Maybe the CVS Instructions here http://openacs.org/4/checkout could explain that to get "OpenACS 5" you still ask cvs for "openacs-4"?
