Tags like RELENG_2_2 are branch tags. The value retrieved by the tag
is the latest update attributed to the branch.

Tags like RELEASE_2_2_5 represent a particular state.

RELEASE_2_2_5 is the state of the RELENG_2_2 branch back in late
October when FreeBSD 2.2.5 was released. Since then, additional
corrections and improvements have been make the the 2.2 (aka -STABLE)
branch.
