You shouldn't have to right now. The only case would be where you need to
get something into the appropriate branch, but then you check out a
different 'branch' not a different module. so:
cvs co -r expresso-4-1
SHOULD be the correct command if you specifically want a critical bug fix
to go into the 4.1 release. [Off the top of my head though without trying
it ;) ]
