The release branch tag is sticky. Once you check out a branch, you can do `cvs update's in it to get updated versions.

Check out one with the default branch, eg. something like cvs -d :ext:steveb＠cvs.xemacs.org:/usr/CVSroot checkout xemacs -d xemacs-21.0 for the 21.0 (and soon-to-be) 21.1 sources. and cvs -d :ext:steveb＠cvs.xemacs.org:/usr/CVSroot checkout \ -rrelease-21-2 xemacs -d xemacs-21.2 for the experimental 21.2 sources. This sequence will use the subdirectory xemacs-21.0/ to store the stable version and xemacs-21.2 to store the experimental version. You should then be able to run `cvs update' in each top-level XEmacs source directory to get future updates. Good advice.
