Re: 21.1
Maybe these instructions for checking out alternative branches could
be added to <http://cvs.xemacs.org>? This is rapidly becoming a FAQ.

The right answer to both of these questions as well as similar questions is
'cvs status -v ChangeLog' (or some other file) and look for the right
branch tag. Then do something like this:
cvs -z3 update -P -d -r <the name you found>
-P to get rid of any empty directories, -d to check out any new directories,
-r to get the right branch.

Er, not quite right :-) You don't want that '-A' in there, it means
'move me over to the main branch'. '-r release-21-2' does the right
thing.
