Hehe, there already is a branch ;-)

For 4.0 (dead, I guess):

cvs co -r xfce_4_0 xfce4

For 4.2:

cvs co -r xfce_4_2 xfce4

For HEAD:

cvs co xfce4

After checking out a branch, commits from within that tree will go to the
correct branch automatically.

You can also switch between branches by using cvs update -r <branchname>, but
I personally use separately checked out trees.
