You got confused a bit. Here's a slightl better description of all
three paths:
http://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/8/
This is the same as the tag RELENG_8 in CVS. It is the 'stable
branch' and is receiving commits that are in all the branches of the
8.X series.
http://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/8.0/
This is the 'security branch' for release 8.0. The security-officer
takes over this branch when our release engineer are done with the
preparation of the 8.0-RELEASE. This is essentially the same as the
RELENG_8_0 branch in CVS.
http://svn.freebsd.org/base/release/8.0.0/
This is essentially a 'tag'. It is a copy of the stable/8 branch at
the point where the 8.0-RELEASE was cut. This is the same as the
RELENG_8_0_0_RELEASE tag in CVS.
