You are asking me how to use git. The names of the tags are listed here: http://gitweb.dragonflybsd.org/dports.git "Release-4.0" tag is certainly fine. "Release-4.2" tag will have some failures on 3.8, but not that many. You need "dports-create" option use tags. "Shallow" has no history, it's the top of the dports repository, so you can't use that for tags. Other than that, just google for git tutorials. There are lots of them.
