For future reference, there's a file doc/BRANCHES, which gives
information like what you're looking for.
Here's what it says about sommerfeld_i386_mp right now.
Branch: sommerfeld_i386mp_1
Description: Multiprocessor support for i386 using intel MP BIOS.
Start Date: 21 Feb 2000
End Date:
Base Tag: sommerfeld_i386mpbase_1
Maintainer: Bill Sommerfeld <sommerfeld@netbsd.org>
Scope: sys/arch/i386
Notes:
Code committed to the branch has booted to multiuser
on at least one system.
Not guaranteed to compile against mainline since
-current may have changed incompatibly with the last
branch update; use "cvs update -D" to roll-back the rest
of the tree to match.
Please get explicit permission from the maintainer
before each commit, or your changes will be backed out.
Other tags starting with sommerfeld_ are private to the
developer and are guaranteed to be unstable. Only the
maintainer should move tags.
See sys/arch/i386/TODO on the branch for a list of known
issues with the branch.
