            Bug ID: 214619
           Summary: freebsd-update fetch -F doesn't force fetch like I
                    would expect
           Product: Base System
           Version: 10.3-RELEASE
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Some People
          Priority: ---
         Component: bin
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ngie at FreeBSD.org

I was operating under the assumption that -F would actually force the fetch
operation to do something... it just notes that there isn't anything to update,
even though I'm one rev off of the latest version of 10.3-RELEASE.

$ sudo freebsd-update fetch -F
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found.
Fetching metadata signature for 10.3-RELEASE from update4.freebsd.org... done.
Fetching metadata index... done.
Inspecting system... done.
Preparing to download files... done.

No updates needed to update system to 10.3-RELEASE-p12.
