There are currently 2 branches at the moment (that I know of).  One is the
"trunk" or main NetBSD development branch.  A month and a half ago, the
1.3 release branch was "frozen" and split from the development branch.
NetBSD-current was changed to follow the 1.3 branch at that time, so only
developers currently have access to the development branch, everyone else
only has access to the 1.3 branch.  This is a good thing, tho, since it
ensures that everyone is working on finding (and hopefully fixing) bugs in
1.3 prior to the release.  So, if you get NetBSD-current, it is really the
NetBSD 1.3 release branch.

I think that Scott's recent changes should fix this, or at least his
message implies this.

When you're building -current, you're building 1.3_ALPHA (well, actually,
we should be BETA real soon now, maybe today).  The next kernel will
probably have this change unless it was built prior to today.

I hope this clears things up a bit.

Later.
