BTW, you seem to be doing a vendor-branch import followed by a merge a
lot, what's the reasoning for that?  I don't think it's really
necessary for ports, the only net effect is one more extra revision
per merge.

I usually wouldn't mind it but Peter once said something about
excessive branching making the cvs operations very slow (and the ports
tree is already taking a lot of time due to it having thousands of
small files...).

Peter, please correct me if I'm wrong.
