That sort of makes sense, although I'm not sure how the *exact* symptoms
got triggered. To be properly careful, I suggest doing "svn cleanup" in
the top of the source tree, then check the status again. Or even wipe
the whole thing, *including* the .svn database, and do a clean checkout.

If you need to use freebsd-update again, just remove the "src" from the
"Components" list in freebsd-update.conf(5). If you need to update a
custom kernel, you would need a more elaborate workaround.

Be well.
