Added files:
Tools/portbuild/scripts updatesnap
Log:
Script run from cron to regularly update the master ZFS copies of the
ports and source trees. Since we have >=1 consumer of these trees
that run frequently but do not insist on up-to-the-second trees, it
makes sense to "pre-update" them regularly and then then re-use in all
of the consumers, instead of potentially doing several updates
simultaneously or on demand. Consumers can clone the ZFS snapshot
into their local filesystem which takes a couple of seconds instead of
minutes or tens of minutes for the CVS update.
We update to a date stamp instead of "." because this avoids
ambiguity of commits that happen while the tree update is in progress
(unfortunately it's slower).
