I have successfully upgraded form FreeBSD 8.1 to FreeBSD 8.2. Here were my
steps:
cvsup /root/stable-supfile
cd /usr/src
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
shutdown -r now
*select single user mode*
mount -u /
zfs mount -a
mergemaster -p
make installworld
mergemaster

My upgrades were a success. I upgraded 3 machines:
1. 7.1 -> 7.4
2. 8.0 -> 8.1
3. 7.1 -> 7.3 -> 7.4
I don't use STABLE, but rather e.g. RELENG_7_4

That's the more important question. I think that upgrading the
configuration of your software will take more time than upgrading FreeBSD.
For example: apache22 port has a diff

List subscribers generally ask that those sending messages to the list
place their replies below quoted material, rather than above it.
If you read /usr/src/UPDATING, you will see:
"
I can't understand why should I use this "adm" tool instead of
standard method, described in /usr/src/Makefile.
And it's not an answer to this question:
6.2 to 7.3 is which one of the folowing:
- 6.2->6.4->7.0->7.3
or
- 6.2->7.3 directly?
