See the thread (note that what I proposed is different to what the GDB 
group agreed to :-):
http://sources.redhat.com/ml/gdb/2001-03/msg00024.html

The GDB group no longer include version numbers in the trunk, instead 
the it only contains a date stamp.  The branch follows the x.x.90 
convention (but appends a date stamp for good measure).

enjoy,
Andrew
