FWIW, I generally blow away the source that came off the CD before
I do a CVSup of the RELENG_2_2 tree - I remember in the past
that someone mentioned that if you don't, cvs might thing that
it doesn't own the files it's trying to delete, and you'll run
into problems. I don't know if this is still the case...

But yeah, I've had much better luck with 'rm -r /usr/src/*' before
my initial cvsup on a freshly installed RELEASE.
