I don't quite see the problem.  If you use RELENG_4 what did you expect
it to do?  It's supposed to update your source tree.  If you use
RELENG_4_2_0_RELEASE when you've already got 4.2-R sources it obviously
won't do much since there aren't many differences between 4.2-RELEASE
and 4-2.RELEASE.

The refuse file is a cvsup thing, there's no reason you can't use one
for /usr/src.  RTFM cvsup(1), there's a very good section in there about
refuse files.
