Stupid CVS question

I've been using the cvs,which I assumed was pre 6.5, copy of postgresql in
a project I'm working on. With the recent talk of a 6.4.3 being released I
was wondering which version cvs actually reflects. I'm green with CVS so
if I'm missing something obvious feel free to whack me on the head.
Thanks!

I log into cvs and download like this

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@postgresql.org:/usr/local/cvsroot login
cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@postgresql.org:/usr/local/cvsroot co pgsql

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@postgresql.org:/usr/local/cvsroot co pgsql

with the above, youare getting the development branch...

If you do:

cvs -d :pserver:anoncvs@postgresql.org:/usr/local/cvsroot co -rREL6_4
pgsql

you'll get the "stable" branch
