Yup. More precisely, "cvs update -rRELENG_5" (noting that ~/.cvsrc specifies "-d -P" for "cvs update"). Also note that I maintain a private mirror of the repo (vs. using CVSup to update my source trees directly). >> Sure.

Well, in an abstract sense, the tags are arbitrary character sequences, interpretation of which is up to the folks who use them. :-} More nearly usefully, I believe those tags are used when the release engineering team establishes "branch points".
