My suggestion is:

1) remove all files under /usr/src (including .git etc)
2) git clone --branch releng/13.2 https://git.FreeBSD.org/src.git /usr/src
(as described in handbook)
3) cd /usr/src
4) make -j xx buildworld
5) make -j xx buildkernel
6) install them & reboot

For future upgrades, I suggest:
cd /usr/src
git pull
followed by steps 4, 5, and so on...

My best wishes

Eduardo
