Thanks(again) Matthew.

I thought I had to use RELENG_2_2, but looking at the symbols from 
$CVSROOT/src/Makefile,v: (is it ok to do: more $CVSROOT/src/Makefile,v?)
   symbols
        RELENG_3_0_0_RELEASE:1.220
        RELENG_2_2_7_RELEASE:1.109.2.33
               ...
        RELENG_2_2:1.109.0.2
        RELENG_2_2_BP:1.109
               ...
it seemed to me(looking at the revision numbers) that I should be 
using RELENG_2_2_7_RELEASE.  I guess I am a little confused here :-)

I think I am in need of asking one more question along this route: 
What will be the correct way of checking out the ports for the 
2.2.7-STABLE branch(and updating)?

Thank you,
Pål
