FreeBSD Update doesn't know how to add new files; fortunately, it doesn't need to. Security patches don't add new files (or remove them). The problem of upgrading between versions is outside of the scope of FreeBSD Update; it exists _only_ for the purpose of of tracking the RELENG_x_y branches. Colin Percival
