Does anyone remember what the "main" branch is called on CVS ?

Just came across a project on SVN, and working on *trunk*. I cannot explain why trying to remember how it is with CVS.

Scientist and engineer interested in Life.

Work on (GOF)AI, Agriculture, Biology, Energy, Robotics, Space---all topics climate-aware.

Trunk makes so much sense for SVN-like centralised technologies. So it would make sense for CVS too, but my mind refuses to tell whether this is right.

Main makes so much sense for Git-like decentralised technologies. This is now a forest, no more tree, no more trunk to single out.

Trunk! I remember subversion

Quite a throwback

creating and destroying; built flying cars & autonomous vehicles, now building /faust, more here: /july, web: july.rocks

Subversion was such a good iteration over CVS-like systems. If Git did not come about, it'd be my choice.

Yet any non-trivial repo was taking forever to *create* a branch and such kind of conceptually simple operations. Modern version control is a revolution, really humbling even today.
