I recently (last week) cvsup'd a -current source tree over a -stable
source tree with the assumption that cvsup would sort it all out. I
found out that cvsup doesn't (always?) remove files that are no longer
pertinent. This is with the delete keyword present. The -current build
broke because there were leftover files (/usr/obj has been removed
first). The breakage was solved by removing /usr/src and recvsup-ing
from scratch. Details follow...

BTW: The files in question were at a minimum /sys/netinet/altq_*.h
