Actually I created both. 1.34 is the 1.34 branch, 1.34-rc2 is a snapshot of the 1.34 branch. From "Freeze! & Installers thread":

"The general procedure here on in is as follows:

rcNum = 2

1. Make installers/package up the 1.34-rc$(rcNum) tag.
2. Test these installers.
3. If any problems are identified commit the fixes to trunk (assuming no 
conflicts) and merge into the 1.34 branch. If no problems, goto 6.
4. Increment rcNum and create a new tag.
5. Goto 1.
6. Create a new tag which is a carbon copy of the 1.34-rc$(rcNum) tag.
7. Release."
