Typically, they install cvsup and configure it with a cvs-supfile that has
---------------
*default prefix=/home/ncvs
*default host=CHANGE_THIS.FreeBSD.org
*default base=/var
*default release=cvs
*default delete use-rel-suffix
src-all
ports-all
doc-all
cvsroot-all
---------------
which allows them to either mirror the repository along with all the
branches and tags, or just to obtain the top-of-tree for a given branch
as they desire. You may wish to look at the /etc/local/cvsup/cvs-supfile
on your FreeBSD system. Or, just go and read
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/cvsup.html
for general information on CVSup itself.
Note:
RELENG_4 is a branch tag
RELENG_5 is a branch tag
RELENG_5_4 is a branch tag
RELENG_4_11 is a branch tag
RELENG_4_11_BP is a version tag
RELENG_4_11_0_RELEASE is a version tag
RELENG_5_4_0_RELEASE is a version tag
The FreeBSD team does multiple commits and merges between their
branches.

No.

I suspect you are not asking the correct questions...
