Actually, you have two problems here. First, if you take a look in that
file, you will see entries like this:
RELENG_2_2 y
RELENG_3_0_0_RELEASE y
RELENG_3_1_0_RELEASE y
RELENG_3 y
Add the following as root:
RELENG_3_2_0_RELEASE y
Then use that tag to check out what you want. The tag you specified does
not exist.
Good luck,
Doug
