RELENG_4

Obviously not.  You are getting only the changes to the RELENG_4
branch.

Yes, 1.2->1.3 is a change in -CURRENT.  You are getting the head
of the RELENG_4 branch, revision 1.2.2.1 in this case.

MAIN doesn't really exist.  CVSweb uses this as a symbol for the
unmarked main branch of the repository.

HEAD is the head (i.e. latest state) of the main branch.
