 # About the TMI repository
 
-The TMI TinyOS repository contains code imported from CVS upstream, our
-internal working branches, and tags marking a series commits that are a clean
-patch series of the TMI enhancements against an official upstream release.
+The TMI TinyOS repository is based upon code from the [official
+repo](http://tinyos-main.googlecode.com/svn/).  The TMI repository contains
+various branches and tags representing current and past work.  Most notably, the
+tags beginning with `patchset/` are clean patches against a given official
+upstream release.
 
-* Current patchset tag: `patchset/2.1.0-3`
-* Derived from official release tag: `tinyos/2.1.0`
+* Current patchset tag: `patchset/2.1.1-4.5`
+* TMI enhancements are based upon the upstream release tag: `tinyos/2.1.1`
 * The commits between the two above tags represent the series of patches in the
