RELENG CVS syncronization question

I was just syncing my /usr/src using cvs to get today's security 
updates to 4.8, and I noticed that if I use

cvsup3.FreeBSD.org

I get one version of the files, which appears to be 4.8p5.  But, if I 
use

cvsup4.FreeBSD.org

I get a different versions of the files, which appears to be 4.8p8, 
which is what I want.  My questions is, how do I know I've actually got 
4.8p8?  The only way I know to check is to read /usr/src/UPDATING, but 
how do I know I've got all the right files?  Can I assume that if 
UPDATING says its a particular version, then my source is indeed 
current with that version?

Thanks...
