If no specific branch is mentioned, current CVS usually means the HEAD branch.
This is what you get if you just do a cvs checkout without specifying a revision
or branch (i.e., no option like -r gimp-N-N).

 Hi - My name is Chris Mohler.  I'm not a hard-core programmer, but
 have some experience with C and Python.  I've recently set about to
 assembling a prepress environment with OSS tools.  Of course GIMP is a
 cornerstone of the project, so I'd like to become more involved with
 GIMP development.

Just check out the HEAD branch. That is, do not specify any particular
branch. That will get you the development branch which is where gimp 2.3
releases are made from occasionally. We also maintain a stable branch,
labelled gimp-2-2. That's where stable gimp 2.2 releases are being made
from. If you want to get a patch into GIMP, it will almost always first
have to go into the HEAD branch.
