Don't remember, you can track down by browsing CVS sources.

I guess

        cvs -d ... checkout -r BRANCH-NAME

where BRANCH-NAME should be easy to find by e.g. `cvs log AUTHORS'.

It was not finished, it contained some subtle bug that caused minor
node counter difference.  And, as Gunnar pointed, it somewhat worsened
the code by adding the pointer to board virtually everywhere.

I doubt.  It should be difficult to resume and finish.  But feel free to
try.

Certain things like e.g. persistence cache were not even started.
Mostly, these include things that don't cleanly relate to a particular
board.  And the bug I mentioned.
