Here's your problem. You've commented out the collection to get. Hence
the warning that the file is empty. If you uncomment this line, you'll
get -current.
> *default tag=.
If you want -stable (ie the 4.x series), your file should read:
*default host=cvsup10.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/usr
*default prefix=/usr
*default release=cvs
*default delete use-rel-suffix
*default tag=RELENG_4
src-all
Cheers.
