I've just made cvsup on my workstation (*default release=cvs
tag=RELENG_5) and got:

saucepan# pwd
/usr/src/sys/dev/bge
saucepan# ls -al
total 186
drwxr-xr-x    2 root  wheel     512 Mar  9 12:51 .
drwxr-xr-x  155 root  wheel    2560 Mar  9 12:53 ..
-rw-r--r--    1 root  wheel  101313 Mar  2 21:29 if_bge.c
-rw-r--r--    1 root  wheel   81011 Mar  2 11:08 if_bgereg.h
