"state" is an RCS thing -- you can set the state to anything you want on
a checkin, and you can ask for the most recent revision with a
particular state on checkout.  It's not particularly useful with CVS. 
"lines" tells how many lines were added (the + number) and delted (the -
number) at that revision (a change to a line is implemented as deleting
the old line and adding a new line).
