It's all about the tags. RELENG_4_10 will give you FreeBSD
4.10-RELEASE, the -p2 means there have been 2 patches for it since it
was released and you have them. Tthe RELEASE branch only gets bugfixes
and security updates. If you want, say, 4.10-STABLE, which will
eventually become 4.11, use the tag RELENG_4. There is a section on
these tags in the FreeBSD Handbook that fully explains them.
