>Description:
I tried to cvsup from 4.5-RELEASE to 5-CURRENT.  I've done this many times before.  I modifed /etc/make.conf with the appropriate SUP_* lines, cd to /usr/src and make update.  It ended up updating /usr/src to -STABLE.  I read /usr/share/examples/cvsup/README and it mentioned using /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile to cvsup to -current.  That's what I was doing.  I examine /usr/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile and it specified a release tag=RELENG_4!  Wrong.  I did some checking of CVS and it looks like a change was made in what standard-supfile does.  


>How-To-Repeat:
Just read /usr/share/examples/cvsup/README on a 4.5 system.  Then cvsup with standard-supfile and you won't get -current.
>Fix:
Several options.

1) Change the README.
2) It appears standard-supfle and stable-supfile are the same (or nearly so).  Do we need both?
3) Introduce a new file current-supfile to cvsup to -current and check it into RELENG_4 branch (and MAIN).

At any rate, #1 is essential.

Thank you
Alan Edmonds
