I was wondering if the patches/fixes done to mainline tree ever make it
into the 6.1 tree? How does it work?

A developer who commits a patch to cvs HEAD might commit it to cvs
gdb_6_1-branch at the same time. Many patches get applied this way
before the release of 6.1. After the release of 6.1, very few patches
get applied this way.
Or, a developer might pick up patches that are already in cvs HEAD
and apply them by hand to gdb_6_1-banch. This is called 'backporting'.
You can look at the ChangeLog files in gdb_6_1-branch
to see how much activity there has been.
