I don't understand what you try to say here.

1.3.4 is just some point in time and doesn't have an accompanying cvs 
tag.  What you get depends on which checkout date you choose.  Usually 
that's the current time.  I don't really understand what you are asking.

RELENG_* is FreeBSD.  I guess the handbook is outdated on that.  We had 
DragonFly_1_0A_REL, but that's long ago and shouldn't be written down 
anywhere.  The current release is DragonFly_RELEASE_1_2_Slip

I think they are summed up in the wiki.  If not somebody will do so 
shortly.  Putting it into docbook is a very good idea!
