I do it like this:

put this in "stable-supfile":

	*default host=cvsup.de.FreeBSD.org
	*default base=/var/db
	*default prefix=/usr
	*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_8
	*default delete use-rel-suffix

	*default compress

	src-all

execute:

	csup stable-supfile
	cd /usr/src
	make buildworld
	make buildkernel
	make installkernel
	mergemaster -p
	make installworld
	mergemaster -a
	reboot


You now have updated to a "current" 8-STABLE.
This is, if 8.3 would exist, you would now have 8.3-STABLE.
If you just want security patches for 8.2 and not go to 8.3 if it comes  
out,
you have to define tag=RELENG_8_2


This is not the same as tag=HEAD.
tag=HEAD gives you CURRENT, which is 9.0-RC1 i believe.
Do not confuse these.
