I suspected that, but as I said was not sure. I'll add the -r<version> from now on. Would it perhaps be something to add to the web page then, in the interest of absolute clarity?
Also, if I have updated to -current as per above what is the result if I rerun the update, but with the tag? I have tried it and while I do get the Tag file (saying "TOPENBSD_5_6") I again do not quite understand what I should expect in that case.
