I learned something, but I still appear to be missing something obvious. My supfile is appended below. Using the line *default tag=RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE list=cvs:RELENG_5_2 works as I anticipate for src-* collections, creating checkout files with the appropriate name. However, even with the line *default tag=RELENG_5_2_1_RELEASE list=cvs:. above the ports-* collections, this supfile results in cvsup deleting all the files in my ports tree.
