Have a look into /usr/src/release/Makefile. Please, drop me a mail, i
had to use my fixit floppy last weekend since i had to low-level
reformat my root disk. Naturally, now i've got some comments (but
don't have them handy right now).

It's the development branch where new features are getting in.
Everybody committing new code is committing it to the 2.2 branch,
meaning that it will be in 2.2, once it is ready.
>Does this mean that 2.1 has RELEASED yet ?
No, but the 2.1 branch is exclusively intented for bugfixes, and the
only persons currently committing in this branch are David Greenman
and (very seldom) Jordan Hubbard. David did the Sisyphus job of
pulling all bugfixes from 2.2-current into the 2.1 branch during the
last weeks.
