	This one (and only this one) is wrong - tag=RELENG_5 will currently
empty your source tree. Soon (hopefully) it will produce 5-STABLE and current
will be labelled 6.x - at that point there will be *two* active stable
branches - the older one may be more stable and the newer will be more
featurefull, eventually the older one will have no advantages and will
die off.

	Oh yes - the one for the latest, up-to-the-minute, flakiest* CURRENT
is tag=. the same as you always need for the ports.

* probably not the flakiest - for that you probably want tag=ALPHA_2_0 :)
