>Description:
It should be possible to run freebsd-update on the installed version, to add 
components not previously included.  For example, if "src" is not listed when 
the original update was done, it should be possible to add it to the 
"Components" argument and rerun.

Or if it is desired to prune a portion of the system, it should be possible to
change the "Components" argument to "src/sys src/base world kernel" to prune 
the installed src.

Or if StrictComponents was set at the default and for some reason src was not 
updated, it should be possible to change it to "yes" and rerun to get src 
updated.
>How-To-Repeat:
>From a 9.2-RELEASE system, run
  
# freebsd-update -r 9.2-RELEASE upgrade
freebsd-update: Cannot upgrade from 9.2-RELEASE to itself
