No.  What it means is that *when you test the tree* the ports tree is
mounted, and then your changes are applied to it (like a unionfs).

This means that if you've modified a port that the tested port depends
on, that one will also be tested.

For example:

I use my redports account and commit some changes to net-p2p/transmission-c=
li

I want to test my changes to the slaves too, so I queue some builds
for net-p2p/transmission-daemon.

These use the modified transmission-cli.
