For a major update (when e.g. 3.0-stable comes out) you would need to change
the line
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_2_2
accordingly.

Since /usr/share/examples/cvsup is updated when making the world, you could
choose to use /usr/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile instead. e.g.

cvsup -h cvsup.the_nearest_I_found.freebsd.org /usr/.../stable-supfile

Last time it was changed ... today ;)

If your cvsup'ing machine is not the one being `make world'ed on you can use
/usr/src/share/examples/cvsup/stable-supfile instead.
