Subject:   RELENG_6 cvsup returns 6.0-RC1

Hello,

I just ran a cvsup with a tag of RELENG_6 and rebuilt world/kernel.
After installing kernel/world and subsequent reboot, I expected to see a
kernel labeled:

	FreeBSD 6.0-STABLE

but am instead seeing:

	FreeBSD 6.0-RC1

I double-checked my supfile and my tag is indeed RELENG_6.  In fact,
I've done this twice (cvsup8.us.freebsd.org) to make sure I'm not doing
something wrong.  I always delete /usr/obj before running make
buildkernel.

The question then is, why does specifying a RELENG_6 cvs tag yield a
kernel labeled -RC1 and not -STABLE?

Doug
