Firstly, don't upgrade to the 6.2-Release, use RELENG_6_2 to
get the security updates. 

I don't know what Colin Percival's script is, but it sounds like it's
intended for tracking development branches such as 6-stable. If
I were you, I'd just follow the updating procedure described in the
Handbook.
