freebsd stable - Nov 2012 - freebsd-update and surces of 9.1-RC3

Hi!

I'm trying to use freebsd-update for first time.
I have 9.0-RELEASE installed without sources and I have read Handbook chapter
and manual page for freebsd-update.

"freebsd-update -r 9.1-RC3 upgrade" downloaded updates, its
"install" command
installed kernel and after reboot second "install" invocation
installed binaries
but not source tree that is needed to add IPSEC support to the kernel.

Now it says:

# freebsd-update -r 9.1-RC3 upgrade
freebsd-update: Cannot upgrade from 9.1-RC3 to itself

How do I make freebsd-update to download and install sources
for 9.1-RC3 so I could rebuild custom kernel?

You did not get src updated because you did not have it before.
Because there was no official announcement, I can give you a link (similar to
one for -RC2), from which you can get the sources src.txz:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/i386/9.1-RC3/
Be sure to check download's signature in MANIFEST file.
After that:
- make backup of anything you got in /usr/src, and remove that dir
  # rm -rf /usr/src
- unpack downloaded file locally into /usr/src dir (that destination dir is
  a default)
