Relevant information can be found in Section 5.3 of the FAQ. The release(8) manpage is good fodder too.

Note, however, that the table at beginning of Section 5.3 states much of what you need to know. While a few people on this site build -current following updating or installing a snapshot, many simply stop here & just run the snapshot itself.

Snapshots may or may not have uncommited code not found in CVS. There is no way to know unless one continues to build from source & compares kernel + userland afterwards.
