1f12e4fe7a Updates for the Tracking a Development Branch section
Grammar tweaks for correctness and readability.

Add missing punctuation.

Prefer <application>svn</application> to <application>SVN</application>;
the latter occurred in only one place.

Remove a redundant list item about Subversion versus CTM.

50642ccc0a Removing old files is not an optional step on updating and upgrading FreeBSD.
Reflect this by merging make delete-old section into the updating section.

This change rewords the section such that it fits in with the content around it,
and is the followup commit to r41772.

a815ff9a07 Rewrite the outdated section explaining make.conf and add a section to
mention the existence of src.conf.  Warn users that these things,
although shiny and strangely compelling, are also very sharp.

6fa4d6ceac CVS is going away soon. Suggesting it for ports, -STABLE, or -CURRENT,
even with a deprecation warning, is a disservice to new users.

This change removes cvsup, csup, and CVS references.  SVN URLs are also
changed to the preferred form and links to the SVN mirrors are added.

b8e9d58987 Update the freebsd-update section:
Define minor and major version upgrades at the start of the section.
Mention that installed applications will still run after a minor
upgrade.  Split the custom kernel portion into 8.X and earlier and 9.X
and later.  Make the portupgrade instructions specific to major version
upgrades.
