You need to specify a tag= either for *default or for src-all

RELENG_6_2 for the latest 6.2
or
RELENG_6_1 for the latest 6.1 (security updates)
or
RELENG_6 for whatever 6-STABLE is (6.2 right now but will soon
enough be moving on towards 6.3.).

Especially noting the part:
"There is an important special case that comes into play if you
specify neither a tag= field nor a date= field. In that case, you
receive the actual RCS files directly from the server's CVS
repository, rather than receiving a particular version. "
