Ack, this is getting messy. :-(

We have the tag RELENG_2_1_0 for the branch, which should have been 
RELENG_2_1.  What is commonly called 2.1R is actually 2.1.0R, and is a 
point on the 2.1 branch.  2.1.5R is also a point on the 2.1 branch.  
-stable is a sup of the 2.1 branch as well, not a 2.1.5 branch.

If it's going to be called 2.1.5-something, perhaps "2.1.5-MAINT"?  After 
all, the 2.1 branch is now a "dead end" with no more development, and just 
bug fixes aka "maintenence".

Cheers,
-Peter
