Anything?  Everything?  Lots of things probably dont work yet..

The g2 branch is periodically merged from HEAD..  How often this
happens, well, there isn't a regular schedule.  Also, there are
updates purely to the g2 branch when patches are sent.

Well, the first command will checkout the g2 tree.  After you have the
tree checked out you can just run:

cvs -q update -Pd

from the source tree to get any updates.
