Actually, what you call STABLE is pretty much what FreeBSD calls
RELEASE (the RELEASE branch, as opposed to a released version).
This is what you'd get by using the tag RELENG_5_3 for example.

What FreeBSD calls STABLE (eg RELENG_5) has no equivalent in 
DragonFly.  

Perhaps you can change your STABLE to RELEASE, and the STABLE name
can just be retired altogether, since people see to find it
confusing...
