Just keep following RELENG_8 and once the 8.2-RELEASE is done it will
become 8.3-STABLE.

If you want the release (+ fixes) then you should change your tag to
RELENG_8_2 and in a few days you will get the release once it's done.

You probably want the second option above if you're a fairly normal
user.
