Um....
no, you fail to understand.  I know the ports ARE included in RELENG_2_2.
First of all, anything in RELEASE_2_2_5 is in there - that's a state of
the branch as someone just explained.  Plus, I've done 'rm -rf /usr/ports;
cvsup mars-sup' to fix the collection once when it got corrupted.  But
today, they aren't there any more.
