This option tells freebsd-update to act as if it is running a specific
release instead of querying the kernel. In particular, this can be
useful when upgrading jails.

just "directory" entries.
Prior to this commit, if / was added as part of a security update (how? In
the most recent case, because lib32 was accidentally omitted and was then
re-added, and every installer distribution set gets its own paths) then
the code which was supposed to filter out updates to deleted parts of the
base system (if someone decides to delete / then we shouldn't re-create it
for them) would instead get confused and decided that while / should exist,
// should not exist and needs to be removed.
This fixes the bug which caused freebsd-update to want to delete / (which is
harmless, since `rm /` fails, but scary nonetheless). A workaround is being
applied to the update bits in order to avoid triggering the bug on unpatched
systems.

Pointy hats to: cperciva & everybody who didn't proofread EN-13:04 enough
at the end of the upgrade process, after warning users to upgrade any
3rd party software (e.g., from the ports tree) which might link to the
libraries being removed.
Prior to this commit, the line
/usr/lib/libc.so|...|/lib/libc.so.7
matched the regex, which -- upgrading from 9.x to 10.x, where libc.so is
a regular file and thus was not part of a line which matched the regex --
resulted in freebsd-update thinking that /usr/lib/libc.so was a shared
library which was being removed as part of the upgrade. This had some
unfortunate consequences.
This will be part of an upcoming Errata Notice.
directories last.
This is generally handled by the fact that the list of filesystem objects
is sorted, but this sorting is broken by code which moves .so files ahead
(so that they're present before any binaries which use them)... that code
also moved .so files ahead of directories, which is a problem for upgrading
to 10.0 where there's a new directory containing new .so files.

configuration files.
If the current file differs from the canonical version from the old release
only due to differences in the $FreeBSD$ tag (which can happen if the system
was installed from source code, depending on how the src tree was checked out)
then freebsd-update will treat the file as "unmodified" and silently update
it to the "clean" version in the new release.
If the only change being made to a configuration file is in the $FreeBSD$
tag (e.g., for any configuration files which have been modified locally, now
that we're using SVN and the $FreeBSD$ tag changes when a branch is created),
freebsd-update will no longer print the diff and prompt "Does this look
reasonable (y/n)?".

The backup kernel will be written to /boot/kernel.old, if the directory
does not exist, or the directory was created by freebsd-update in a
previous backup. Otherwise freebsd-update will generate a new directory
name for use by the backup. By default symbol files are not backed up
to save diskspace and avoid filling up the root partition.
This feature is fully configurable in the freebsd-update config file,

shared libraries.
This fixes a problem which resulted in 6.x->7.x upgrades having the
/usr/lib/libpthread.so -> libthr.so symlink missing; what happened was
that the old libpthread.so symlink pointed to /lib/libpthread.so.2 --
which matched the "/lib/*\.so\.[0-9]+" regex -- but the new symlink
didn't, so FreeBSD Update got confused and deleted the symlink as part
of its "remove old shared libraries" step.
To recreate the symlink (which I understand is necessary for ports like
KDE to build) on a 7.x system which FreeBSD Update upgraded from 6.x:
# ln -s libthr.so /usr/lib/libpthread.so
