I believe that 1-0_stable has been superceded by v1_0_rc_1.  
If you want to use the latest stable version try:
cvs co -r v1_0_rc_1 asterisk

Those commands certainly do download the latest up-to-the-minute
Version of asterisk.  It is possible that some bugs and whatnot 
will be found, but I have found that CVS Head is pretty stable.
Untill RC1 was released I was using the latest CVS for our main 
production system.
