It's been a little while, but I seem to remember that the CVS checkout had some problems for a brief time. (Unrelated to the disk full condition that jkh fixed today.) Hmmm. OK, the release notes lag the actual source code changes. Presuming that whatever problem affected both the source code and the release notes, one could check the release notes on the snapshot to see if they mention the new dirpref algorithm. That should be a necessary (but not sufficient) condition. One could also root around the files in src/sys/ufs/ffs/* (or the output of "strings /kernel") and compare version numbers with the commit log messages in CVSweb.
