If you have used the cvsup file  you show below you have actually
gotten neither but instead gotten -CURRENT.
If you want the 4.5-RELEASE sources use
tag=RELENG_4_5_0_RELEASE

You probably actually want RELENG_4_5 or possibly RELENG_4 instead.
(Which are the 4.5- security branch and 4-stable respectively)

No, not really.

No. To get a -RELEASE you must specify exactly which one you want.
