No, it's definitely RELENG_7...and even if you used the wrong case all you'=
d=20
do is delete everything in /usr/src

Really the only way to end up with 8.0-CURRENT is to build from HEAD, which=
=20
means somehow /usr/src got populated, whether with a supfile with . in it o=
r=20
what is impossible to say.

Regardless, there's no real supported downgrade procedure.  It's probably=20
possible, but you are in wizard territory.
