I ran cvsup using ports-supfile (confirming that it
includes "*default delete use-rel-suffix"), but it doesn't
seem to have removed the /pkg and /patches directories under
each port, which are empty except for the CVS directory.
It seems the presence of either of these directories causes
bsd.port.mk to consider the port out of date.
