If you're curious, "cvs log README |less +Gp" will show you all the
tags and branches. A "branch" is distinguished from a static tag by
the fact that it has a version number of the form N.N.N.N, and that
it has a ${branchname}-base static tag associated with it.

Yes, that's the head. It officially supports all formal releases of
NetBSD back to 1.5, plus lots of other platforms. Unless you have a
particular reason to track the branch (say, you're building for a
large number of hosts that can only be updated once or twice a year,
or you're trying to help us with the release), you should probably
just go with the head. Right now the head is pretty close to the
netbsd-1-6-1 branch, which is close to what will be in the pkgsrc.tgz
tarball to be released with NetBSD 1.6.1, so it's pretty stable, and
should be a good place to start.
