Updating the ports tree for a new version of OpenBSD

After upgrading the system to a new version of OpenBSD, do most people delete the old ports tree and checkout a new one?

Supposing I have the 6.2 tree currently. Can I just update the current tree with a new tag like:

Code:

cvs -q up -Pd -rOPENBSD_6_3

Or do I need to check out the new version first?

What is the most bandwidth friendly way to handle this?
