The tag for 6.2 RELEASE is > RELENG_6_2 and 6.3 STABLE is RELENG_6 aka PRERELEASE. When 6.3 is > released there'll also be a RELENG_6_3 (6.3 RELEASE). What I should have added. After 6.3 RELEASE, RELENG_6 becomes 6.4 STABLE. (If there's going to be a 6.4; I think I read somewhere that there'll be a 6.4). 7.0 STABLE is RELENG_7 but that will go through the same process as 6.3 but with betas before pre-release and the rc's (I think) before RELENG_7_0 (7.0 RELEASE) is created and RELENG_7 becomes 7.1 STABLE.
