Basically you'll do it the same way you do any upgrade. Just be sure 
after you upgrade your source that you read UPDATING to find any major 
issues. UPDATING doesn't really tell you /how/ it only points out major 
changes that you should be aware of when you do upgrade.

Instead of checking out a RELENG_* branch you will check out the "HEAD" 
branch.
