cvsync gets you a clone of the repo, "cvs co" gets you a checkout, which for
cvs (and svn, but not git) is not the same, which is why you would have two
separate dirs, one where you checked out -current and one where you track
the -stable branch.

.. which makes this part moot, since the cvs command will not collect
all branches
but only the one you specify or -current if you don't.
