you can likely deduce some answers from:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.7R/schedule.html
4.7-PRERELEASE is a tag marking what the 4.7 release will be all about.
then, 4.7-RC, 4.7-RC2, 4.7-RC3 (RC = release candidate) are snapshots
that grow closer and closer to what the RE team feels comfortable
calling 4.7-RELEASE.
so, as you track RELENG_4, you will obtain each tag point sequentially.
if you cvsup your sources every day, you will know when RC2 is available
because "uname -a" will show 4.7-RC2.
