The tag as you've specified it (RELENG_3) is the correct one for
keeping a 3.x release -STABLE.

The tag 'RELENG_3_0_0_RELEASE' was simply a snapshot at that point
in time on branch RELENG_3.

I'd recommend getting warmed up to mergemaster if you plan to take
your system from 3.0-RELEASE to 3.1-STABLE.  I'd recommend doing so.

Good Luck,

Jerry Hicks
