Which version and other updating questions

I recently did a cvsup and it fetched all sorts of things so I'm a bit 
concerned about what version make buildworld would create. How come the 
Makefile under src/ doesn't have a version of the build about to be created 
(The only version information is for the Makefile itself 1.323 but that's 
not very helpful)? If it's there could somebody put it someplace that makes 
it easy to find.

And UPDATING has  NOTE TO PEOPLE WHO THINK THAT FreeBSD 7.x IS SLOW:.... But 
that's not helpful because it just tells me that I could inadvertently fetch 
7.x stuff (which I probably just did since I have tag=.).

uname -a reported 6.0-CURRENT (Gack current, doh *feint*).

Here's what my cvsupme5 file looks like ---
*default host=cvsup7.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs tag=.
*default delete use-rel-suffix

src-all
ports-all


Let me guess, since I'm using tag=. (Otherwise known as HEAD) it's going to 
get what ever is bleeding edge?

Should I change that to tag=RELENG_6 (In hopes that cvsup doesn't grab 
bleeding edge stuff)?

Assistance is greatly appreciated. And just when I had this all figured out 
too. :(
