How different is CVS Gnus from the Gnus code in CVS Emacs?

How different is CVS Gnus from the Gnus code in CVS Emacs?

[Francis Litterio]

There are two CVS repositories that contain Gnus source code:

  o The Gnus repository at :pserver:gnus@cvs.gnus.org:/usr/local/cvsroot

and

  o The Emacs repository at :ext:anoncvs@savannah.gnu.org:/cvsroot/emacs

How do they relate?  Is Gnus in CVS Emacs periodically brought up to
date with CVS Gnus?  If so, how frequently?

cvs.gnus.org holds two branches: stable (v5-10 branch, 5.10.7) and
unstable (aka trunk, aka "No Gnus").  The Gnus version included in
Emacs is practically the same as the stable Gnus branch.  It's version
number is 5.11.

Yes, it is:
