Let's go even simpler - if a branch isn't named, as either RELEASE, HEAD, or (Git commit ID), assume that it's an update of whatever branch is currently in place.  No menus or choices needed.

In a perfect world, we'd have this all under the same interface - 'make (whatever)' would do the appropriate actions.  People are very used to having the make function work, so I'm leery of removing that functionality... but on the other hand, I am not the one doing all the work.  Do what you would enjoy working on and let's see what other people think.

Hiya,

I realize this is quite a simple script, and possibly misses useful features (?). Originally posted to @users, but mailing list line-wraping didn't keep the script fully intact, so copy/paste/test wouldn't of worked

Also, the response on DragonFly Digest encouraged me re-post it here

I've tested it on new installs of 4.8, 5.2, and 5.4, and with installs previously upgraded with `make src-create/src-create-shallow`

It takes this:
------
> cd /usr
> make src-create
> ...
> make buildworld
> make buildkernel
> ...
> make upgrade
------

To this:
------
> /usr/upgrade
