If you just need to see at a high level what changes were made, you can
look at src/UPDATING for the appropriate security branch (in your
example above, this would be RELENG_4_5).  One way to do this without
actually checking out said file is to explore this:

http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/UPDATING?only_with_tag=RELENG_4_5

This doesn't tell you exactly what diffs were applied to the other files
in src/, but it'll tell you what their effects were.

Good luck!

Bruce.
