How to get latest stable(ish) branch?

[Brett Viren]

I want to try version "1.6" or whatever pre-1.6 is in CVS.  I guessed
by looking at the online CVS at savannah that to do this I should
specify the tag "branch_release-1-6", right?

If this is correct, maybe the answer to this can be added to the
bottom of http://www.gnu.org/software/guile/anon-cvs.html


Thanks,

PS: alternatively, I'd love to have a link to the officially released
1.6 tarball...
