OK. It would have helped me to know the exact URLs, but I've been looking around on ftp.FreeBSD.org, and in /.2/FreeBSD/CTM/src-2.2 I find that src-2.2-08* date from July 17 to October 14. 800xEmpty dates from July 17, so you have the -STABLE branch as of October 14. At this time, it was 2.2.7. To get up to date, you should also pick up src-2.2-09*, which currently goes up to 0966 (today).
