Anything else will delete your ports tree (actually, I think we might tag the ports tree right before a release so we have a snapshot of it, but this won't help you much if you're trying to keep your ports collection updated). The above is also true for the doc tree. src: tag=. will get you sources for -CURRENT, tag=RELENG_4 will get you -STABLE, RELENG_3 3.X, and so forth.
