If you can, use 'cvsup' - it takes only about 2.5 minutes to update the system source tree on my system to bring it up to date. You can run it as often or as seldom as you like, and there is no sync problem - it uses the existing sources. Check the handbook. You can also specify the version number if you like.

Can't the release delta be generated >after the fact? Yes, someone with a lot of disk space and a good knowledge of the ctm generation process can generate a delta from any source to any target. However, there are a number of details that must be "just right" or the attempt will fail to fit in seamlessly. And in the CTM world, it's either seamless or it doesn't work.
