In order to use a branch you have to use

cvs checkout -r BRANCHNAME MODULENAME
or
cvs update -r BRANCHNAME

If you have never used this, you're still on the HEAD branch. In order to
switch
to the 2.0 branch, you need

cvs update -r gtk-2-0 

The tag is sticky, so one you've switched to the 2.0 branch, you can just
use 

cvs update

to update to the latest state of the branch. In order to switch back to
HEAD,
use

cvs update -A



Regarding you gtk-doc problem: You need the docbook xml dtd.
