RELENG_4_10 will give you FreeBSD 4.10-RELEASE, the -p2 means there have been 2 patches for it since it was released and you have them. Tthe RELEASE branch only gets bugfixes and security updates. If you want, say, 4.10-STABLE, which will eventually become 4.11, use the tag RELENG_4. There is a section on these tags in the FreeBSD Handbook that fully explains them. -Josh
