If all you are going to do is run a release, I would have done a src-all with a tag=RELENG_4_2_0_RELEASE. The doc-all and port-all need a "tag=.". You can do it doc-all tag=. but I prefer to do it on a different cvsup since I capture the log from a system cvsup but not for the ports or docs. I also wouldn't run a release. I follow the 4-stable or RELENG_4 tree.
