One time is to clean /usr/src and the other is to clean /usr/obj. If 
everything goes well, you don't need to do anything but cvsup. 

If something goes wrong, it depends on whether you have left over stuff 
from an older release. The presence of left over stuff is when cleandir 
is used. Once you are running a new release, a simple build error can 
usually be fixed by waiting until your mirror has the updated code and 
recvsup. Most of the mirrors are updated on an hourly basis. You just 
don't usually know when that is :).
