The STABLE branch is available for the current release (v9) and
the legacy release (v8); the upcoming release (v10) still doesn't
have one. So if you want to follow 9-STABLE, you'll stay on v9
as long as you _don't_ switch to v10 after it has been released,
this can be done by SVN or by using the src.txz distribution from
the installation media or one of the FTP mirrors; after that point,
you can follow 10-STABLE once it has been started.

See entry 3.2.3. here:

You'll probably find this useful as well:

NB: Following 9-STABLE will _not_ get you to 10-RELEASE and further!
