It's HEAD directly, meaning the trunk, or what's eventually going to 
turn into CMF 1.6. Get it this way:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous at cvs.zope.org:/cvs-repository co CMF

Speaking of 2.7.3, now that 2.7.5 is out you should upgrade, anyway. It 
fixed some access control problems that led to weird security bugs. The 
upgrade is painless. The way I upgrade is very simple:

- download the new Zope and store it separately from the old Zope
- go though the build process without creating a new INSTANCE_HOME
- stop the existing site
- edit all files in the existing INSTANCE_HOME/etc and 
INSTANCE_HOME/bin and do a simple search-and-replace to replace 
references to the old Zope path with the new path.
- restart the site
