Well, if you're moving from 4.4 to 4.7, there will be *quite* a lot of
files which will have changed.

cvsup installs directly into /usr/{src|ports|doc}. Your sources are
probably in an indeterminate state. However, if you rerun cvsup, it will
fix itself up.

If you're using RELENG_4, you're moving up to -stable, which is effectively
4.7+

If you intend on just upgrading your system sources, you don't need
ports-all and doc-all. src-all is approx 298M and the ports-all is
about 162M. Dunno about doc-all. Removing the ports-all and doc-all
will probably just squeeze your update in. I'm unsure whether you'll
have enough space to recompile your system though...
Cheers.
