It's that darned AUXRELEASETAG hack that ports and apparently now docs
depend on. :-(

If I leave AUXRELEASETAG unset and build the release with
RELEASETAG=RELENG_4, as I must for all BETAs and interim release
candidate snapshots for which I have no tags, then -current ports and
doc is used.  Unfortunately, the -current ports collection has been
falling over for me if I use it, so I set AUXRELEASETAG=RELEASE_4_2_0
manually and the ports collection checks out a nice working version.
Unfortunate, this then means that doc checks out on a non-existant tag
and the directory is empty.  Phoo!

I think AUXRELEASETAG has gotten itself overloaded - unless you and
Satoshi plan on laying down the same tag name at the same time in
ports and doc simultaneously, it's not the case that they can share
the same tag name.  There needs to be a separate PORTSRELEASETAG
and DOCRELEASETAG so that they can be overridden independantly for
cases just like this one (which will come up again, I assure you).
