CVSUP question

Greetings,
I installed 5.1-release on a box. I installed cvsup from ports.
I then copied /usr/src/share/examples/cvsup/stable-sup /etc.
I changed the file to point to a CVS server near me. The notes
I was reading were specific to Freebsd 4.6. Since I had
5.1 installed I guessed I needed to choose RELENG_5 to
track 5.1 stable. I then added the following lines to the
bottom of the file:
ports-www tag=.
ports-net tag=.
ports-security tag=.
ports-sysutils tag=.
I then did a cvsup /etc/stable-supfile. The system trundled away,
showing on the screen file deletions, etc.
When it finished (without any errors, and telling me it was sucessful),
I tried to cd /usr/src. The directory was gone. Hmm.... So,
I modified the stable-sup file to use RELENG_5_1. Then did a
cvsup /etc/stable-supfile. But once it connected to the cvsup server,
it just hung.
If I want to track 5.1-stable, what should I use ?
thanks,
Darryl
