In a sense.  RELENG_4_6_2_RELEASE refers to a specific set of revisions 
of the files, at one point in time.  Barring some extremely unusual 
circumstances, you'll *always* get the same revisions of files if you 
checkout RELENG_4_6_2_RELEASE.

RELENG_4_6 is a development branch.  If you check out RELENG_4_6, the 
results may vary depending on when you do the checkout.

(From what you wrote below, it sounds like you already know this, but I 
just wanted to make sure.)

Aiigh.  Given the pain we had to go through to get 4.6.2 finished, 
I sure we're not going to do a 4.6.3.  :-p

That's correct.

Bruce.
