Eh; the doc folks probably need a reminder or some form of
encouragement.

>There are listed RELENG_5_0, RELENG_5_1 and RELENG_5_2 but not
>RELENG_5. If a nonexistent tag is specified in the cvsup file

>Is RELENG_5 already available?

Yes:

g1-15(4.10-S)[1] cd /S2/usr/src
g1-15(4.10-S)[2] cat CVS/Tag 
TRELENG_5
g1-15(4.10-S)[3] 


>Is there a means to list available cvs tags without the risk of
>deleting the target tree?

Sure.  Direct a Web browser to
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/; at the bottom of the page is
a drop-down list labeled "Show only files with tag:" which defaults to
"Allt tags / default branch".  Selecting that item provides a list of
available tags.

>Which is the tag now that will approach RELENG_5_3_0_RELEASE?

I'm pretty sure that would be RELENG_5, but concede that this is not my
particular area of expertise.

Peace,
david
