It's not a stupid question, it's a maddening feature of CVS that there's no
place to store meta-data about branches. What you want to do is pass this
argument to the checkout command:
-r release22-maint
There's no reasonable way you could have guess that. The Misc/NEWS file in
that branch summarizes the changes since 2.2.2 (at least those fixes that
people bothered to make a NEWS entry for <winK>).
