The RELENG branches are release branches - not actual releases. EVERYTHING in
the snaps directory, no matter what branch it's from, is just a snapshot - it
is created automatically, it might be created in the middle of a commit,
between commits, with a parse error - anything. They're a convenience for
people who don't want to use CVS for some reason or another.

On a more general level, RELENG is where commits are done for the 
versions that
became IMP 3.2.1, 3.2.2, etc. The FRAMEWORK_3 branches serve the same purpose
for all applications that work with Horde 3.

The only one is that it's not HEAD, so some incremental upgrade scripts aren't
present (just the ones from the last stable versions), and the 
framework files,
for all tarball releases (NOT snapshots) are installed for you into horde/lib,
with the small modification made to horde/lib/core.php for that to work
properly.
