Thanks again. :)

Don't bother with repo copies at all? :)  Given that the history still
exists in the old location I've never seen the point. The other answer
of course is to convert the ports repo to svn. Then the mere-mortal
developers can just do 'svn cp' at the moment it's needed, which means
it will be completely up to date. The other advantage to svn in this
case is that the "copy" doesn't bloat the repo the way cvs repo copies
(which actually are a physical copy of the relevant files) do.
