it looks like some things have moved:

FreeBSD-current -> branches/-current
FreeBSD-stable  -> branches/2.2-stable
   (new)           branches/3.0-stable

There are a couple of things I don't understand about the first of
these, though.  According to the README it's supposed to contain
sources, and there's a supfile.cvsup which could be used to get the
same sources via cvsup.  But there are some directories which doesn't
look like sources (and can I get them via cvsup at all?)
 XF86332 - binaries?
 XF86333 - binaries?
 commerce - binaries?
 xperimnt - packed sources? misc stuff?

If these aren't part of a CVS branch, it's somewhat counter-intuitive
having them in branches/-current.  At least the README file needs to
be updated to explain what they are and why they're here (like: these
are here for historical reasons :-)
