Does that mean that HACKING is incorrect?

Stabilizing and maintaining releases
====================================

Minor and major number releases go through a stabilization period
before release, and remain in maintenance (bugfix) mode after release.
To start the release process, we create an "A.B.x" branch based on the
previous release, for example:

   $ svn cp http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/tags/A.(B-1).C \
            http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/branches/A.B.x

As I read it it suggests that 1.2.0 will be taken from tags/1.1.3 (which
sounds unmanageable). From what you have said, that pattern applies only
to minor (3rd digit increment) releases, with major release branches
being copied from trunk.

You are quoting from an out-of-date version of HACKING.

Go see http://svn.collab.net/repos/svn/trunk/HACKING
