Although what you have is called 4.2-BETA (don't forget to read the releast notes), what you're getting is the latest source in the RELENG_4 branch. Thus, 4.2-BETA can be thought of as 4.1.1-STABLE plus (bug fixes going into 4.2) + (new features for 4.2). Don't be confused by the BETA tag; you're still getting "stable" source. There was a good discussion of this on the list yesterday. Please check the archives at freebsd.org before we get into this again.
