First, the RELENG_6 will be tagged, it will be the frozen state of the 
HEAD. When 6.0-RELEASE gets released, the release state will be tagged 
to RELENG_6_0_RELEASE and then, the RELENG_6 becomes the 6-STABLE 
branch, and the HEAD becomes 7-CURRENT. From this point the security 
patches from 6-STABLE or 7-CURRENT will be backported to the release 
state, and this will be tagged as RELENG_6_0, so one can just checkout 
only the security patches and rebuild the system from source.
