This is what I envision:
current-supfile gets you -CURRENT
stable-supfile get you -STABLE
standard-supfile gets you updates to what you have

The following should accomplish this without breaking prior functionality:

For all:
current-supfile tracks -CURRENT ("." tag)
stable-supfile tracks -STABLE (currently "RELENG_4" tag)

For -CURRENT:
standard-supfile tracks -CURRENT ("." tag)

For -STABLE:
standard-supfile tracks -STABLE (currently "RELENG_4" tag)

For releases:
standard-supfile tracks the release branch ("RELENG_5_2" tag for 5.2)

The attached "supfile-current.diff" adds current-supfile (based on the 
old standard-supfile).  I didn't touch the CVS info at the top of the 
file -- this is automatically updated when the file is checked in, right?

The attached "supfile-5.2.diff" updates the standard-supfile for 5.2 to 
reflect this scheme by changing the CVS tag to RELENG_5_2 and modifying 
a comment for accuracy.

The attached "supfile-README.diff" updates the README to reflect this 
scheme (I pulled part of the text from the RELENG_4_9 README).  It 
should be fine for everything (releases, -CURRENT, and -STABLE).

This shouldn't require any further documentation from the re_at_ 
perspective, as src/share/examples/cvsup/standard-supfile is already 
included in the list of files to modify before release:

+#		option.  This directory must exist in order to run CVSup.
+#

+#		This specifies where to place the requested files.  A
