2.2 was a branch with point releases off it, like 2.2.1, 2.2.2, etc, so
the "2.2" was always the same and hence became the name of the branch.
4-stable doesn't do that, the releases are just 4.1, 4.2, etc, so the
tag is just RELENG_4.  Does that help your confusion at all, or have I
just made it worse? :-)
