Hello,

I have previously kept my machine updated by fetching the STABLE branch 
using csup and rebuilding the kernel. (As described in Handbook chapter 
24.7)

 From now on, I want to use freebsd-update to simplify the process and 
follow the RELEASE branch (+patches) instead.

But it seems that freebsd-update cannot help me upgrade from 7.1-STABLE 
to 7.2-RELEASE.

Any tips on how to make the transition to RELEASE?
