Pay no attention to what others are saying, some of them don't know
what they are talking about.  (Some of them do, but I don't have time
to go sort them out.)

 * This is a little confusing.  What are the differences en RELEASE_2_2_5
 * and RELENG_2_2 as a tag for cvsup?  I didn't know about the
 * RELEASE_2_2_5 and am still RELENG_2_2.

RELENG_2_2 = "branch" tag for src tree for 2.2* (moving target)
RELENG_2_2_5_RELEASE = "release" tag for src tree for 2.2.5R (fixed)
RELEASE_2_2_5 = "release" tag for ports tree for 2.2.5R (fixed)

If you are running -stable, use RELENG_2_2 for src and no tag for
ports.  (There is no RELENG_2_2 branch in the ports tree so you will
get nothing if you specify that.)

There is no "RELENG_2_2_5" branch in the src tree, no matter what your
uname tells you.  RELENG_2_2 is just continuing past 2.2.X-releases.

There are no branches in the ports tree.
