I'm not sure if svn can be made to 'take over' a tree of files already
obtained by non-svn means.  I believe not.  Therefore to get hold of
9.1rc do:

  # cd /usr
  # mv src src.old
  # svn co http://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.1 src

and then later on to update your tree with any changes from upstream:

  # svn up

Note: the first time you update from a SVN tree, you'll get a lot of
mergemaster false positives, because the format of the $FreeBSD$ VCS id
string is different.  Use of 'mergemaster -F' is recommended.

Et voilà.

	Cheers,

	Matthew
