[Opensource] how can i obtain 5.01 from cvs

[Mark Halliday]

When I managed large development projects using CVS I required developers
fixing bugs in a release branch to also fix them in HEAD.  It was a little
extra work for the developer but has several advantages:
- The developer fixing the bug is most familiar with the issue and potential
side effects of his changes.  This is more important if the code branches
differ significantly.
- Virtually eliminated the painful merge process, and new bugs introduced in
that process.
