RELENG_6 - actual -STABLE
RELENG_6_2 - actual -RELEASE-pX

-RELEASE are taken off -STABLE at predefined times, and as such we can 
say, that -RELEASE is snapshot from -STABLE at the date of new release. 
Development is being done in -STABLE.

So if you want to have current release with it's patchlevels as they 
are, use RELENG_6_2.

Copy this file somewhere else, like /usr/local/etc and modify it as you 
need. Whole cvsup command would look like:

# cvsup -L 2 /usr/local/etc/stable-supfile
