Do a 'cvs -z9 checkout gtk+' first, then you can do 'cvs -z9 update gtk+' whenever
you want to catch up with the cvs tree. Cvs needs to create a local repository
with versioning info etc. before it can compare it with the central archive.

PS. You could also drop by #gimp on irc.gimp.org if you have questions on gtk+
