Same as I've always used. When at the top of an updated stable/8
checkout tree...
# svn merge -c240720 svn+ssh://rmacklem@svn.freebsd.org/base/head/sys sys

Also, after I reverse merge via:
# svn merge -c-240720 svn+ssh://rmacklem@svn.freebsd.org/base/head/sys sys
# svn status .
 M     sys
 M     sys/dev/sound
- so I end up doing an "rm -r" of the tree, followed by a fresh checkout.
  (Before, the status wouldn't see anything modified after I would reverse
   the merge out.)
