For 2.4.2, release24-maint is what you want, though it may have a few bug fixes since 2.4.2 was released. With CVS I used to use "cvs log README" to see what all the tags and branches were. I don't know what the equivalent svn command is. The 'cvs log' trick only works if the file you log is actually part of the branch. Not an issue with Python or any other project that always branches sanely, fortunately, but there's always wackos out there ;) You get the list of branches in SVN with: svn ls http://svn.python.org/projects/python/branches/ And similarly, tags with: svn ls http://svn.python.org/projects/python/tags
Yes, that's easy enough, but being sure of the meaning of any given tag or branch name is less easy.
